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

The Principality of Burback is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its parental licensing program, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 2.915 billion Burbackians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Binghamton. The average income tax rate is 77.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Burbackian economy, worth 245 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 84,087 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices, everyone has the equal opportunity to have their wallet stolen, the people elect the Supreme Court justices directly, and demand for gourmet white truffles is on the rise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Burback's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Burback is ranked 37,050^th in the world and 1,194^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,518.36 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
