The Kingdom of Brocheland is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.381 billion Brochelandians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of magnolia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Brochelandian economy, worth 823 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 187,965 dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,452,063 per year while the poor average 6,421, a ratio of 226 to 1.

Fitness to teach sport is proven by urinating the furthest up a wall, the morbidly obese often sell stock options on their own corpses, children have one piggy bank for fun and another to avoid crippling medical debt, and the sidewalk is used as an overtaking lane by city drivers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brocheland's national animal is the wolverine, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Brocheland is ranked 23,049th in the world and 1,321st in Osiris for Most Cultured, scoring 87 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
