The Empire of Brazaar is a very large, cultured nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, otherworldly petting zoo, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, devout population of 294 million Brazaarians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.4%.

The strong Brazaarian economy, worth 17.8 trillion Brazãoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 60,422 Brazãoes, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

Criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program, bridge salesmen line up for blocks to make their cases at Leader's office, news headlines usually include p-values, and souvenir shops that sell alphorns are taking advantage of gullible tourists. Crime is almost non-existent. Brazaar's national animal is the Águia , which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Brazaar is ranked 64,624^th in the world and 3,289^th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 69 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
