The Great Whiteness of Bruce-the-Shark is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and complete lack of prisons. The quiet, industrious population of 27.606 billion Bruce-the-Sharkians 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.

The large government prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Healthcare, and Spirituality are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 43.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but inefficient Bruce-the-Sharkian economy, worth a remarkable 1,013 trillion Baloons a year, is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Pizza Delivery, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 36,720 Baloons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Bruce-the-Shark's national animal is the Shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Bruce-the-Shark is ranked 179,980^th in the world and 1^st in Beyond the Sea for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring zero on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
