The Democratic Republic of Bruyn is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 3.609 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Defence, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bruyn City. The average income tax rate is 62%. A healthy private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Trout Farming and Furniture Restoration.

A weakened police force struggles to maintain law and order, the upper class have been throwing riots after hunting was recently banned, Leader has just been declared ruler of Bruyn in an international press conference, and the streets are ravaged by murder and violence to prove political points. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a serious problem. Bruyn's national animal is the white-headed capuchin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the petrel.

Bruyn is ranked 1,283rd in Osiris and 37,062nd in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 14 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
