The State of Brora is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 40.575 billion Brorans 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 is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, although Education is also considered important, while Law & Order and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.5%.

The powerhouse Broran economy, worth a remarkable 1,450 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Pizza Delivery, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 35,739 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 230,344 per year while the poor average 2,240, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Citizens are bombarded with advertising from their compulsory minature radios, corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, the nation's massive battleships are often mistaken for islands, and Brora has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Brora's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Brora is ranked 36,279^th in the world and 1^st in Crimson Woodsmen for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,389.8 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
