The Infamous Persona of Brutus is a massive, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working population of 3.748 billion Brutusians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 15.9%.

The Brutusian economy, worth 185 trillion deniers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Retail, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 49,595 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

The mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, and cyclists spend more time unlocking their bicycles than they do cycling. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brutus's national animal is the cow, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Brutus is ranked 215,817^th in the world and 12^th in Rome for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 266.88 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
