Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Federal Republic of Branadian Union is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Lord Protector with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 9.066 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brandenopolis. The average income tax rate is 23%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing industries.

'A is for Annulment' is a popular children's song, only the brainiest citizens become academics, the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', and terrified tympanists are finding themselves on the front lines armed only with kettledrums. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Branadian Union's national animal is the terrible rabid vampire chinchilla, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the best.

Branadian Union is ranked 284th in Lazarus and 4,776th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 6 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
