“Our Liberties We Prize and Our Rights We Will Maintain”

The Liberal Democratic Republic of Brydog is a gargantuan, devout nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 14.511 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although the Environment and Commerce are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Liberty City. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The Brydog Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, it is a common belief that a sport isn't sport if there are no decapitations, political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, and reports of arsonism have doubled since the introduction of a privatised fire protection service. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling. Brydog's national animal is the coyote, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Republic Dollar.

Brydog is ranked 67th in the region and 55,030th in the world for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector.
