The Armed Fortress State of Bretton is a behemoth, efficient nation, ruled by Chancellor Donner with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 51.414 billion Brettonians 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 tiny, corrupt, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order and Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brettonia. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Brettonian economy, worth an astonishing 27,926 trillion jions a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is a breathtaking 543,160 jions, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,433,312 per year while the poor average 75,063, a ratio of 32.4 to 1.

The country routinely whitewashes uncomfortable parts of its history, customer satisfaction with online delivery services is at an all time high, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, and death row is annually emptied to feed the nation's hunger for televised murder-games. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Bretton's national animal is the golden eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is atheism.

Bretton is ranked 89^th in the world and 1^st in Haven for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 543,160.98 Standard Monetary Units.
