The Imperatoria Unio of Breten is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Conan Meriadoc with an even hand, and renowned for its vat-grown people, pith helmet sales, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 14.874 billion Bretesh are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Londinium. The average income tax rate is 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bretesh economy, worth a remarkable 2,580 trillion Bretesh Pound Sterlings a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 173,489 Bretesh Pound Sterlings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The media seems excessively interested in what King Conan Meriadoc is wearing this season, tours to see the 'wild men of the mountains' are popular with tourists from the big cities, the nation's air force consists of strongly-worded letters folded into paper airplanes, and happiness is all being miserable together. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Breten's national animal is the Piskies, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Celtic paganism.

Breten is ranked 35,781^st in the world and 1,083^rd in The North Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,071.95 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
