The Constitutional Monarchy of Empire de Bretagne is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Nominoë with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, compulsory vegetarianism, and frequent executions. The compassionate population of 6.53 billion Bretons are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bretonnia. The average income tax rate is 92.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Empire de Bretagnean economy, worth a remarkable 1,003 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 153,658 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Homophobia is off the menu, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, intellectual snobbery has the cognoscenti sneering at anyone who doesn't have an opinion on the semiological drift of Umberto Eco's works, and civil servants are no longer allowed to cross their t's. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Empire de Bretagne's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Socialism.

Empire de Bretagne is ranked 15,079th in the world and 793rd in Osiris for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 10,302.26 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
