Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Allied States of Braidyn is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 1.832 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The minute government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Public Transport, Law & Order, and Social Equality. The average income tax rate is 12%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small private sector is dominated by the Basket Weaving industry.

The capital of Braidyn has burned to the ground and caused riots throughout the country, those found guilty of illicit affairs are jailed, skateboarding is punishable by heavy fines, and the nation is experiencing a severe shortage of sporting events. Crime is a serious problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Braidyn's national animal is the anteater, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the sticker.

Braidyn is ranked 2nd in Saints Row and 75,807th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
