The Grand Duchy of Brecon2 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Maja Nordstrand with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, smutty television, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic population of 33.924 billion Brecon2ians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amiens. The average income tax rate is 92.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Brecon2ian economy, worth a remarkable 6,717 trillion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism. Average income is an impressive 198,016 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The nation's leader is normally just referred to as "snuggle-wuggle-huggy-bear", the nation's air defense strategy is two-dimensional, passengers often cause a stink on public transport, and a bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Brecon2's national animal is the boar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Brecon2 is ranked 543rd in the world and 3rd in European Union for Most Cultured, scoring 482 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
