OverviewPoliciesPeopleGovernmentEconomyRankTrendCards

The Dual Monarchy of Burgundy-Belgium is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Wilhelm with an even hand, and notable for its lack of airports, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 4.425 billion Burgundians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Besançon. The average income tax rate is 73.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Burgundian economy, worth 351 trillion ducats a year, is extremely specialized and solely comprised of the Tourism industry. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 79,429 ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

This year's hottest fashion trend is the Lese Majeste collection, trains and passengers alike are often late, Wilhelm's exquisite office door is replaced monthly due to angry petitioners, and nudity is frowned upon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Burgundy-Belgium's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Burgundy-Belgium is ranked 18,059th in the world and 393rd in the Rejected Realms for Most Secular, with 66.18 Atheism Rate.
