The Republic of Breach is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working population of 4.485 billion Breachians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.2%.

The very strong Breachian economy, worth 236 trillion rubledollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 52,801 rubledollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 261,662 per year while the poor average 6,042, a ratio of 43.3 to 1.

Crime is a problem. Breach's national animal is the hawk, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Breach is ranked 238,114^th in the world and 1^st in Ofo delenda est for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.32 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
