The District of Brascotia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by privy council chairman with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 27.607 billion Brascotians 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 tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Social Policy, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.8%.

The strong Brascotian economy, worth 970 trillion Juno aurums a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 35,161 Juno aurums, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 239,057 per year while the poor average 1,889, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Brascotia has designated District City as its capital city, Privy council chairman has just been declared ruler of Brascotia in an international press conference, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, and Quick Pink Fox is one of the most popular forenames in Brascotia. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Brascotia's national animal is the quick pink fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Brascotia is ranked 223,883^rd in the world and 9^th in Washington DC for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 22.36 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
