The Protectorate of The Brown Pentagram is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its restrictive gun laws and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 22.685 billion Brown Pentagramians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 34.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Brown Pentagramian economy, worth 72.8 trillion Pentas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 3,210 Pentas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Brown Pentagram's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Brown Pentagram is ranked 310,017^th in the world and 3^rd in Red Sky Coalition for Smartest Citizens, with 0.82 quips per hour.
