The People's Republic of Brathon is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by Council of Brathon with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working population of 918 million Brathans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny, liberal government prioritizes Education, although Welfare and Administration are also considered important, while Industry and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brathon City. The average income tax rate is 14.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Brathonian economy, worth 33.7 trillion Cays a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Tourism, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 36,760 Cays, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

College athletes are arrested for selling lemonade, the Federal Council of Brathon has been announced as the new Head of State, anti-government web sites are springing up, and the nation grinds to a halt for afternoon tea. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Brathon's national animal is the Cardinal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Brathon is ranked 89,325^th in the world and 14^th in Philosophers for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,360.45 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
