The Militarist Police State of Burvenchkaht is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by State-General Iliophoros Plastis with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, national health service, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, cynical population of 4.762 billion Greeks are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Codename - Athinai. The average income tax rate is 92.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Burvenchian economy, worth 626 trillion Drachmas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 131,466 Drachmas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

There is no such thing as an innocent fling in the Burvenchian military, construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, the police crack down on tax evaders without mercy, and the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Burvenchkaht's national animal is the White Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

Burvenchkaht is ranked 286,423^rd in the world and 1,362^nd in Europe for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -15.68 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
