The Republic of Brickston is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Okonkwo Cyryl Lavoie with an even hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, free-roaming dinosaurs, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 7.845 billion Brikons are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Portovo. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Briekish economy, worth a remarkable 2,438 trillion Bricksian Dubbeh Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 310,867 Bricksian Dubbeh Euros, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,634,986 per year while the poor average 31,550, a ratio of 51.8 to 1.

Hay has been added to school cafeteria menus, in musicals everybody's a little bit racist, Briekish-made cars tend to catch fire in people's driveways, and the government regrets to say that it is forced to make cuts to citizens. Crime is totally unknown. Brickston's national animal is the Briekish Merlionous Falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Brickston is ranked 281,782^nd in the world and 46^th in European Union for Safest, scoring 6.24 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
