The Socialist Federal Republic of Brauengen is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, smutty television, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate population of 5.449 billion Brauengenians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Roterbarg. The average income tax rate is 95.3%.

The all-consuming Brauengenian economy, worth 557 trillion Brauengen Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 102,353 Brauengen Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cops shout apologies with every swing of their baton, political hopefuls must announce their intentions decades in advance to accommodate extensive background checks, Maxtopian villagers starve by the time Brauengenian officials even file the appropriate paperwork needed to help them, and family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brauengen's national animal is the Brauengen Red Wren, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None Official.

Brauengen is ranked 5,793^rd in the world and 185^th in The Communist Bloc for Safest, scoring 128.78 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
