The Holy Empire of Bread by Bread is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The cynical population of 992 million bread are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of ITAILAIN SANDWICH. The average income tax rate is 46.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient a loaf economy, worth 41.0 trillion bread crumbs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Pizza Delivery, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 41,282 bread crumbs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Children are terrified that the 'flying police monster' will come to take them away in the night, Mr Happy's Funland has just been named Bread by Bread's new capital, Jack Russells have proven to be terrible spies, and wilderness-dwelling hermits are surprised to find railway stations on their front doorsteps. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bread by Bread's national animal is the sandwich, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Bread by Bread is ranked 153,061^st in the world and 134^th in Edoca for Most Corrupt Governments, with 3.76 kickbacks per hour.
