The Republic of Brapp is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its suspicion of poets, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 24.599 billion Brappians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Law & Order, although Industry, Defense, and Spirituality are also considered important, while Welfare and Education receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.6%.

The thriving Brappian economy, worth a remarkable 1,310 trillion Currencies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 53,265 Currencies, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 232,907 per year while the poor average 7,685, a ratio of 30.3 to 1.

Gun ownership is compulsory, teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, armed police units patrol the roads late at night, and politicians are to be found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income. Crime is moderate. Brapp's national animal is the National Animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Brapp is ranked 6,733^rd in the world and 40^th in 10000 Islands for Most Armed, with 11.79 weapons per person.
