The State of Broughton Knights is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The quiet, industrious population of 32.808 billion Broughton Knightsians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 68.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Broughton Knightsian economy, worth 845 trillion betales a year, is highly specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 25,775 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Voting is compulsory, Broughton Knights has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Broughton Knights in an international press conference. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Broughton Knights's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Broughton Knights is ranked 153,723^rd in the world and 6^th in Ecuador for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.72 law-abiding acts per hour.
