The State of Bournat is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. The democratic population of 37.048 billion Bournatians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Douglas Heights. The average income tax rate is 48.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but inefficient Bournatian economy, worth a remarkable 1,008 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Soda Sales, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 27,223 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, Bournat's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, the government is avowedly atheist, and Bournat has designated Douglas Heights as its capital city. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bournat's national animal is the deer.

Bournat is ranked 103,633^rd in the world and 1^st in Kievan Rus for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 846.87 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
