The Republic of Brookhaven is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic population of 768 million Brookhavenians are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Liberty City. The average income tax rate is 20.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Brookhavenian economy, worth 39.7 trillion olotls a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 51,646 olotls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians ponder for at least a minute when asked if they would like sugar in their tea, mysterious black helicopters menace farmers to ensure compliance with straitjacketing agricultural policies, serial commas clarify the relationship between one's lackeys, the taxpayers, and kinsfolk, and consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brookhaven's national animal is the axolotl, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Brookhaven is ranked 285,709^th in the world and 1,117^th in the Plains of Perdition for Largest Black Market, with 52.0 billion Standard Monetary Units.
