The Commonwealth of North Brightonia is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 833 million North Brightonians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Locke. The average income tax rate is 20.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong North Brightonian economy, worth 52.5 trillion Pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Gambling. Average income is 63,039 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country, rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, the government seizes all major gold finds, and it's normal to start working life with crippling financial debt. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. North Brightonia's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

North Brightonia is ranked 44,852^nd in the world and 2,609^th in The North Pacific for Least Corrupt Governments, with 93.87 Percentage Of Bribes Refused.
