The Federal Republic of Birkanie is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 462 million Birkaniens are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Birka-Cité. The average income tax rate is 27.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Birkaniean economy, worth 21.5 trillion Birkoes a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 46,597 Birkoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.
Dangerous criminals are often 'accidentally' sent on one-way trips to Maxtopia, there's a bright dawn ahead for Birkanie, the blood, sweat, and tears of poor Birkaniens make research institutes rich, and teachers are skilled at leaving no evidence of child cruelty. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Birkanie's national animal is the Dauphin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Birkanie is ranked 206,209th in the world and 3,512th in The East Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -78.96 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
