The Celestial Empire of Breen is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Daoguang Emperor with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 20.354 billion Breen 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.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yin. The average income tax rate is 97.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Breen economy, worth a remarkable 4,562 trillion Yuan a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 224,145 Yuan, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", students spend the school year learning how great the education system is, future leaders of Breen regularly dismiss pressing political issues when available options don't conform to their worldview, and The Pipe Bomb Makers' Pop-Up Book can be found in preschool libraries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Breen's national animal is the Crane, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Shendao.

Breen is ranked 16,887th in the world and 2nd in CISB Reforged for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,294.74 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
