The Provincial Republic of Brodhavan is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Greg Stransødir-Gruinenbjørnin with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.021 billion Brødhvadurs are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Strønstrad. The average income tax rate is 87.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Brodhavanian economy, worth 942 trillion Brodhavan Kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 134,250 Brodhavan Kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians have to be granted day-release from prison to speak on bills, Brodhavan's Medieval Faire is renowned as one of the best in the region, surveillance cameras are banned, and sneezing pedestrians are grabbed by alley-lurking doctors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brodhavan's national animal is the Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Protestant.

Brodhavan is ranked 10,862nd in the world and 16th in Scandinavia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 5,198.44 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
