The Republic of Briftdral is a tiny, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning Join Lily population. The hard-working population of 18 million Briftdralians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 18.3%.

The Briftdralian economy, worth 796 billion Join Lilies a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Furniture Restoration, and Gambling. Average income is 44,210 Join Lilies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Briftdral's national animal is the Join Lily.

Briftdral is ranked 159,788^th in the world and 5^th in The League of Sovereign Nations for Rudest Citizens, with 49.93 insults per minute.
