The United Kingdom of Brucklania is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Bruckles with a fair hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 1.766 billion Brucklanians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shell City. The average income tax rate is 92.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Brucklanian economy, worth 238 trillion Bruckles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 135,092 Bruckles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

It takes months to get the proper permits for a child's first tricycle, in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition, and a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts. Crime is totally unknown. Brucklania's national animal is the Jellyfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Brucklania is ranked 186,004^th in the world and 4,780^th in The North Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 40.0 billion Standard Monetary Units.
