The Cursed Vision of Bruno Madrigal is a mammoth, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and frequent executions. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 9.568 billion Bruno Madrigalians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 63.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Bruno Madrigalian economy, worth 541 trillion pounds 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 a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. 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 56,638 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Racial supremacists indulge their wildest fantasies in cinemas and theatres across the nation, crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing, political spontaneity takes a lot of planning, and many politicians are serving jail time for minor drug offenses. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bruno Madrigal's national animal is the porpoise, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Bruno Madrigal is ranked 139,883^rd in the world and 2^nd in Khulna for Highest Average Incomes, with 56,638.04 Standard Monetary Units.
