The Colony of Brick House is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 2.891 billion Brick Houseans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 14.3%.

The Brick Housean economy, worth 141 trillion aurums a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 48,658 aurums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit and the tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brick House's national animal is the bovina, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Brick House is ranked 311,138^th in the world and 1^st in Brick House for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -7.89 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
