The Republic of The River Brazos is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by President Kylo Driver with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, zero percent divorce rate, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical, devout population of 22.539 billion Brazorians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brazos City. The average income tax rate is 71.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong River Brazosian economy, worth a remarkable 1,904 trillion Finches a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 84,477 Finches, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing, there's more pink stuff on sale these days, most people attending churches are maintenance workers, and Goldilocks has found a lucrative career as a zoning consultant. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The River Brazos's national animal is the Cactus Finch, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

The River Brazos is ranked 74,542^nd in the world and 6^th in Scarif for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 3,881.1 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
