The Freehold of Braavosian Coastland is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Sealord Ternesio Terys with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 8.851 billion Braavosis are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Braavos. The average income tax rate is 42.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Braavosi economy, worth a remarkable 1,892 trillion Iron Pence a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 213,813 Iron Pence, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The overhead luggage compartment is often full, orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting, and voting for pro-Bigtopian candidates is voluntary. Crime is totally unknown. Braavosian Coastland's national animal is the Watersnake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Braavosian Coastland is ranked 54,491^st in the world and 3^rd in Essos for Largest Populations, with 8.85 billion capita.
