The Democratic Republic of Brusselstein is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Aryan Vaidya with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and daily referendums. The compassionate, devout population of 6.913 billion Brusselsteinians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Königsberg. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Brusselsteinian economy, worth a remarkable 1,554 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 224,928 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, many whiskies taste suspiciously like automobile radiators, repurposed warships fire swag at company promotional events, and animal control is going door-to-door releasing all pets back into the wild. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brusselstein's national animal is the Brusselstenian Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Protestant Christianity.

Brusselstein is ranked 69,343^rd in the world and 211^th in Europe for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 9,937.5 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
