The Kingdom of Boerengat is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Kitty with an iron fist, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, infamous sell-swords, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 21.442 billion Boerengatians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Spirituality, and Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Antwaarpen. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Boerengatian economy, worth a remarkable 4,631 trillion Franks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 216,008 Franks, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,886,548 per year while the poor average 3,797, a ratio of 496 to 1.
Travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing, jaywalking is punishable by public flogging, senior citizens can usually be found doing heavy manual labour, and foreign governments are looking into weaponizing the infamous Boerengatian bee. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Boerengat's national animal is the Leeuw, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Snowballing.
Boerengat is ranked 160,971st in the world and 107th in Vlaanderen for Most Stationary, with 45.33967237148 days.
