Location: the West Pacific

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Great Imperial Kingdom of Brodisia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by King Brodie XVI with an even hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.328 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although the Environment and Healthcare are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arisnia. The average income tax rate is 72%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

College students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, euthanasia is legal, travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs, and senior citizens can usually be found doing heavy manual labour. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brodisia's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Brodisian Pound.

Brodisia is ranked 318th in the West Pacific and 11,271st in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
