The Great Majestic Empire of Briannia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor William Rhosar II with an iron fist, and notable for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate, cynical population of 2.242 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 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 London. The average income tax rate is 77%, and even higher for the wealthy. 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.

Conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, popular political cartoonists are thrown in jail for inciting dissent, most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists, and new laws have paved the way for female politicians. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Briannia's national animal is the eagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Pound Sterling.

Briannia is ranked 55th in New Coalition of Nations and 92,935th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 12 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
