The Oppressed Peoples of Brandon II is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Capitol C with an iron fist, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, free-roaming dinosaurs, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.798 billion BrandonIIs are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chicago. The average income tax rate is 70.9%.

The frighteningly efficient BrandonII economy, worth 370 trillion Bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 132,412 Bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

The fishing lobby has stemmed the tide of environmental regulations, kids these days know how to throw a proper punch, a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, and guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Brandon II's national animal is the Black Panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Islam.

Brandon II is ranked 24,103^rd in the world and 805^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 7,281.12 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
