The Republic of Brandenbourg-Anhalt is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Willy Kilberg Brandt with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The quiet, industrious population of 19.119 billion Brandenbourgish are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brandenbourg Stadt. The average income tax rate is 86.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Brandenbourgish economy, worth 989 trillion Brandenbourg Shillings a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. Average income is 51,761 Brandenbourg Shillings, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, a punitive tax has been placed on harmful emissions, businesses are forced to bring all work back within the nation's borders, and President Willy Kilberg Brandt has just been declared ruler of Brandenbourg-Anhalt in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brandenbourg-Anhalt's national animal is the mute swan and phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Brandenbourg-Anhalt is ranked 90,907^th in the world and 508^th in 10000 Islands for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 90.83 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
