The Republic of Breuckelen is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 766 million Breuckelenians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.

The strong Breuckelenian economy, worth 49.1 trillion kronor a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. Average income is 64,078 kronor, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 412,993 per year while the poor average 4,016, a ratio of 102 to 1.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, organ donation is compulsory, and escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails'. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Breuckelen's national animal is the giraffe, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Breuckelen is ranked 3,676th in the world and 159th in Dhrilippine Empire for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 133.38 on the Hayek Index.
