The Kingdom of Brototh is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Richard Arxon with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, sprawling nuclear power plants, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 3.678 billion Brotothians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wigan. The average income tax rate is 88.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Brotothian economy, worth 767 trillion Lashans a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 208,708 Lashans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, even doll houses and dog kennels have to be able to withstand rigorous earthquake testing, every week is blindness awareness week, and five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brototh's national animal is the phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is the Cult of Godsinia.

Brototh is ranked 4,011^th in the world and 3^rd in Thaecia for Largest Black Market, with 495 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
