The Sultanate of Bandar Seri Begawan is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, parental licensing program, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The cynical, devout population of 29.288 billion Bandar Seri Begawanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bandar Seri Begawan. The average income tax rate is 85.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bandar Seri Begawanian economy, worth a remarkable 3,597 trillion bruneian dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 122,821 bruneian dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Leader's bedroom, citizens often glare angrily at jet contrails, Bandar Seri Begawan is increasingly belligerent on the international stage, and saying 'Hi Guys' to a mixed gender group of people at work is a fireable offense. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bandar Seri Begawan's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bandar Seri Begawan is ranked 23,922nd in the world and 1,549th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 86.71 law-abiding acts per hour.
