The Republic of Brocoda is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its public floggings, digital currency, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 7.229 billion Brocodans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 71.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Brocodan economy, worth 667 trillion marks a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 92,310 marks, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.
Foreign policy is mostly just to smile and hope for the best, children seem to be getting better at lying these days, fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding", and an extra hand on the leg will give a horse-and-a-half of lead in a hundred jiffies on seven furlongs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brocoda's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Brocoda is ranked 74,816th in the world and 468th in racoda for Largest Populations, with 7.23 billion capita.
