The United Socialist States of Brush Tsanglu is a large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 161 million Brush Tsangluans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 80.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Brush Tsangluan economy, worth 4.30 trillion semillas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 26,732 semillas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Marijuana is legal in the privacy of your own home, making up random numbers to name new asteroids is the bulk of astronomers' work, cars are banned, and the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brush Tsanglu's national animal is the Great Blue Heron, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Brush Tsanglu is ranked 43,196^th in the world and 163^rd in Forest for Most Cultured, scoring 74 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
