The Kingdom of Browzantine is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by King Edward III with an iron fist, and remarkable for its triple-decker prams, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 15.246 billion Browzantineans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Browstantinople. The average income tax rate is 91.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Browzantinean economy, worth a remarkable 1,756 trillion Buroes 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 large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. 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 impressive 115,210 Buroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The path to inner peace is paved with state-mandated punishment, it is often said that only King Edward III could bring down Dàguó, theft is considered to be okay if the crime happened a long time ago, and a citizen who thinks a slave is a deadbeat is entitled to make the descriptor literally true. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Browzantine's national animal is the Tree Kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Cathloicsim.

Browzantine is ranked 203,026th in the world and 23rd in Novapax for Safest, scoring 39.05 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
