The Grand Duchy of Brecon2 is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Maja Nordstrand with a fair hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, anti-smoking policies, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 39.2 billion Brecon2ians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

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 92.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Brecon2ian economy, worth a remarkable 7,811 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 199,281 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's generous tax credits have brought all the film studios to the yard, cosmopolitan citizens ask what their countries can do for them, Maja Nordstrand reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes, and if someone says there's plenty of living space in Brecon2 they're lyin'. 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 11,221^st in the world and 8^th in European Union for Highest Average Incomes, with 199,281.74 Standard Monetary Units.
