The Kingdom of Brototh is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Richard Arxon with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, anti-smoking policies, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 9.371 billion Brotothians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wigan. The average income tax rate is 95.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Brotothian economy, worth a remarkable 2,653 trillion lashans a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 283,172 lashans, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 998,817 per year while the poor average 58,074, a ratio of 17.2 to 1.

Surgical tape has taken on a distinctly red color, major corporations receive tax breaks for no apparent reason, a performance of the hit musical "Mamma Tua" has been delayed after squatters were found sleeping in the orchestra pit, and belief that Richard Arxon is a lizard-person from outer space has reached an all-time high. 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 2,432nd in the world and 1st in Thaecia for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 998,818 Standard Monetary Units.
