The Province of Broabant is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Hertog Jan with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, infamous sell-swords, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.496 billion Brabanders love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 's-Hertogenbosch. The average income tax rate is 91.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Brabantian economy, worth 97.0 trillion euros a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 64,829 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People believe that if you teach a man to fish he won't buy fish from you any more, hordes of tourists are ruining the environment, a little pushing and pulling is needed for big ships to pass, and guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Broabant's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Broabant is ranked 209,538^th in the world and 1,065^th in Europe for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 46.67 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
