The Allied States of Brulave is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 432 million Brulavics are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eskivi City. The average income tax rate is 51.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Brulavic economy, worth 34.9 trillion yags a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 80,735 yags, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mystics are claiming that a simultaneous rise in scepticism and education budgets is correlation rather than causation, Eskivi City's iconic yellow taxis are nowhere to be seen, parents live in fear of governmental 'child protection' squads, and a fashion designer has been arrested for inciting hatred after claiming redheads couldn't pull off vermillion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brulave's national animal is the golden retriver, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Brulave is ranked 190,585^th in the world and 55^th in Niamark for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -9.8 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
