The Sublime State of BrightonBurg is a behemoth, orderly nation, ruled by Kaiser Janos II with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, infamous sell-swords, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 50.535 billion BrightonBurgians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The minute, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Social Policy and Environment not funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Greater Brightonburg City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient BrightonBurgian economy, worth an astonishing 26,747 trillion Silver Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 529,291 Silver Coins, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Compassion shrinks as tax rebates grow, the government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure, enthusiasm for abstract art has gone up in smoke, and bars are packed at all hours. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. BrightonBurg's national animal is the Boar, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Holy Orange Catholic Church ⛪.

BrightonBurg is ranked 2,569^th in the world and 4^th in One big Island for Highest Poor Incomes, with 202,763.38 Standard Monetary Units.
