The Isle of Bray is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, public floggings, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed population of 18.945 billion Avalonians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.3%.

The strong Avalonish economy, worth a remarkable 1,499 trillion silver coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 79,125 silver coins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 254,670 per year while the poor average 18,614, a ratio of 13.7 to 1.

The navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, disadvantaged youths often commit felonies to enhance their educational prospects, copies of the constitution are used as toilet paper, and clergy who start talking about politics are forced to take a holy vow of silence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bray's national animal is the red dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Bray is ranked 103,729^th in the world and 25^th in Lennart for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,378.34 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
