The State of House of Braganza is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 18.547 billion House of Braganzans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Welfare, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.6%.

The very strong House of Braganzan economy, worth 924 trillion betales a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 49,844 betales, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, elections have been outlawed, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and House of Braganza has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. House of Braganza's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

House of Braganza is ranked 230,084^th in the world and 266^th in Ancient Lands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 56.01 law-abiding acts per hour.
