The Free Land of Borkey Kurg

“Capitalism is Exploitation”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Free Land of Borkey Kurg is a massive, safe nation, ruled by The Council of Borkurgian Progress with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.661 billion Borkurgians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Healthcare, and Environment also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Borkey Kurg. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Borkurgian economy, worth 510 trillion kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 139,532 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is not politically correct to suspect that a serially convicted burglar might steal again, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, and the needs of the living outweigh the needs of the dead. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Borkey Kurg's national animal is the Albatros, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Borkey Kurg is ranked 283,657^th in the world and 6,174^th in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 0.41 flags saluted per person per day.
