The Empire of Ilha Brava is a small, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and frequent executions. The hard-working, cynical population of 45 million Bravianos 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 relatively small, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.2%.

The very strong Brava economy, worth 3.14 trillion Bravoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 69,821 Bravoes, with the richest citizens earning 9.8 times as much as the poorest.

Sex changes are routinely performed at Ilha Brava's hospitals, economists claim no news is good news, voters must frequently select what they view as the lesser of two evils on the ballot, and the nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ilha Brava's national animal is the Sagui, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ilha Brava is ranked 141,565^th in the world and 40^th in Arakeia for Safest, scoring 62.88 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
