The Smash Hit Movie Version of Brocklandia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the biggest squirrels you ever saw with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, ritual sacrifices, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 25.974 billion Brocklandians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The minute, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Darkest Surburbia. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Brocklandian economy, worth an astonishing 10,058 trillion goobers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Retail, Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 387,247 goobers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The Party has more splits than a yo-yo dieter's trousers, schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, practising saying 'how now brown cow' is an essential part of holiday planning, and hundreds of sailors ride the good ship The Biggest Squirrels You Ever Saw day after day. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Brocklandia's national animal is the giant dancing howler monkey, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is --uhm--maybe apathy--or whatever.

Brocklandia is ranked 91,098th in the world and 143rd in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,730.92 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
