The Kingdom of Brighteland is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by King Felix with an even hand, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, free-roaming dinosaurs, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, devout population of 6.209 billion Brightelandians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atlantis. The average income tax rate is 91.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Brightelandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,025 trillion Bright pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 165,160 Bright pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Agriculture is heavily subsidized by the government, military pilots spend more time scraping feathers off their engines than flying their aircraft, stolen Reuben sandwiches are met with detailed and thorough police investigations, and the military will start wars with other nations on a lark. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brighteland's national animal is the Swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Brighteland is ranked 5,294th in the world and 3rd in Civiles Conservare for Lowest Crime Rates, with 115.18 law-abiding acts per hour.
