The Republic of Brumka is a mammoth, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, smutty television, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed population of 7.914 billion Brumkans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 35.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Brumkan economy, worth 382 trillion pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,316 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals, Moby Dick can only be sold by pornographers, it is popularly believed that "cheese every day keeps disaster away", and enemy governments seem especially interested in Brumka's election cycle. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brumka's national animal is the unicorn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Brumka is ranked 201,083^rd in the world and 930^th in Dimmersun for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -4 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
