The Socialist Federal Republic of Brauengen is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 10.621 billion Brauengenians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Roterbarg. The average income tax rate is 95.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Brauengenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,204 trillion Brauengen Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 113,414 Brauengen Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children making baking soda volcanos are questioned by the police, saying "don't do anything that Leader wouldn't do" doesn't exclude a great deal, the governments pockets have been emptied filling useless garages, and lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brauengen's national animal is the Brauengen Red Wren, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None Official.

Brauengen is ranked 5,061^st in the world and 138^th in The Communist Bloc for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 95.5 Effective Tax Rate.
