The United Socialist States of Bralarussia is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.246 billion Bralarussians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Estrela Negra. The average income tax rate is 68.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Bralarussian economy, worth 32.3 trillion Daulas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 25,902 Daulas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Women wearing male lounge-wear are quizzed for hours by mental health practitioners, water fights now end with thousands dead, public projects are synonymous with yawn-inducing conformity, and there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bralarussia's national animal is the bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bralarussia is ranked 196,534^th in the world and 7,859^th in Osiris for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 191.89 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
