Overview • Factbook • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Most Christian Realm of Bresdenn is a massive, safe nation, ruled by King Brian IV of the Bresdennian Realm with an iron fist, and notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.429 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Corlo. The average income tax rate is 73%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, the nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle, the government seizes all major gold finds, and loans are available for students from poor families. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bresdenn's national animal is the Bresdennian Dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is The Holy Bresdennian Baptist Church, and its currency is the Bresdennian Bill.

Bresdenn is ranked 2nd in The Alliance of the Red Knights and 6,924th in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with 11 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
