The People's Republic of Bridge Contra is a mid-sized, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 85 million Bridge Contrans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 43.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Bridge Contran economy, worth 4.95 trillion bids a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,224 bids, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups, the number of eyes rolled per maths lesson is increasing exponentially, toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters, and Jennifer Government is a bestseller. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bridge Contra's national animal is the Colwyn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bridge Contra is ranked 42,038^th in the world and 190^th in The Leftist Assembly for Highest Drug Use, scoring 297.73 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
