The Armed Republic of Bramask is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, smutty television, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 1.522 billion Bramaskians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Bramaskian economy, worth 218 trillion rupees a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 143,694 rupees, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 858,316 per year while the poor average 10,961, a ratio of 78.3 to 1.

Old people living in plastic bubbles complain about a new type of social isolation, escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails', the internal market is thriving, and people often feel unbalanced by their daily commute. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bramask's national animal is the panther, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Bramask is ranked 89,239^th in the world and 216^th in Carcassonne for Most Developed, scoring 64.27 on the Human Development Index.
