The Catopia of Lewis Browns is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Tsar Lewis IV with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 4.291 billion love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on the Environment, although Healthcare and Education are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Catonia . The average income tax rate is 98%. 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.

Heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste, military funding has been stripped back, the government enforces a policy of 'from each according to their ability, to each according to the available budget', and the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lewis Browns's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Sterling.

Lewis Browns is ranked 143rd in Europeia and 6,753rd in the world for Most Influential, scoring 51 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
