The Province of Broabant is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Hertog Jan with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, complete lack of prisons, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.698 billion Brabanders are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 's-Hertogenbosch. The average income tax rate is 92.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Brabantian economy, worth 127 trillion euros a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 75,356 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, and a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Broabant's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Broabant is ranked 92,696^th in the world and 458^th in Europe for Highest Drug Use, scoring 76.2 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
