The Republic of Free Hanseatic City of Bremen is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its burgeoning lion population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 630 million Bremers are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.5%.

The thriving Bremer economy, worth 43.2 trillion marks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 68,525 marks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 242,559 per year while the poor average 13,977, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Free Hanseatic City of Bremen's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Free Hanseatic City of Bremen is ranked 302,461^st in the world and 553^rd in Sophia for Largest Governments, scoring 6.78 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
