The Allied Union of Brulave is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Alexander Koth with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, digital currency, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate population of 1.599 billion Brulavics have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nuoansk. The average income tax rate is 82.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Brulavic economy, worth 171 trillion yags a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 107,365 yags, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Space shuttles are lying silent on the runway till the Space Agency can work out how to fit a creche and a meditation room into their next spacecraft, the voyages of obsolete star-trekking satellites on deliberate escape orbits are only just beginning, dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines', and lawyers turn down litigation cases and corporate work in order to focus on lucrative public defence work. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brulave's national animal is the Brufish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Firstbornism.

Brulave is ranked 189,765^th in the world and 29^th in Niamark for Largest Black Market, with 33.2 billion Standard Monetary Units.
