The Republic of Brookhaven is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic population of 287 million Brookhavenians are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 16.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Brookhavenian economy, worth 13.3 trillion olotls a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 46,329 olotls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Editorials that criticize the government are legally obligated to display the "pants on fire" warning, government officials are held to the highest standard of morality, the "Dreadnowt" is the pride and joy of the Brookhavenian Navy, and nobody knows why the caged axolotl sings. 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 teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Brookhaven is ranked 138,756^th in the world and 969^th in the Plains of Perdition for Most Corrupt Governments, with 5.46 kickbacks per hour.
