The United Duchies of Brum Brum is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by High Duke Nikolai III with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, aversion to nipples, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless, devout population of 23.706 billion Duchians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cair Para. The average income tax rate is 99.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Brum Brumian economy, worth an astonishing 15,820 trillion brummy gems a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 667,382 brummy gems, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Parents dread their examinations more than their children, High Duke Nikolai III's reputation is hard as nails, posh restaurants scatter glass fragments on the dining room floor to keep out barefoot undesirables, and talking during class is a gateway to lifelong drug addiction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brum Brum's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.
Brum Brum is ranked 2,017th in the world and 7th in European Union for Most Cultured, scoring 264 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
