The Radiant Dáxlamic Ascendancy of Bradfordsborough is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lýderis Bradford John with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 14.6 billion Bradfordsborughites are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City of the Dux. The average income tax rate is 97.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Bradfordsborughian economy, worth a remarkable 2,262 trillion Dáxlamic Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 154,942 Dáxlamic Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Internet trolls are considered valiant supporters of the right to free speech, Lýderis Bradford John's recent "I have a dream that we will fight them by raking muck on the beaches" speech seems a little derivative to many, re-education centers are being added to most prisons, and police officers find government bureaucracy more terrifying than most serial killers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bradfordsborough's national animal is the Golden Retriever, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dáxlam.

Bradfordsborough is ranked 306,640^th in the world and 187^th in Declansburg for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 4,648.27 Standard Monetary Units.
