The Glorious Empire of Burning Pants is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by The King of Braves with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, flagrant waste-dumping, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 22.872 billion Burner of Pants live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken individuals juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of adventure. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Pants-Burner economy, worth a remarkable 8,367 trillion G-Stones a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 365,837 G-Stones, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

It's a common sight to see angry commuters with grenade launchers mounted on their vehicles, nighttime sightings of raccoons sporting Circle-A patches and bandanna masks are on the rise, city sidewalks are crowded with overweight people, and heart attacks are regarded as a coming of age ritual. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Burning Pants's national animal is the Fighting Mechanoid, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Oath Sworn Through Courage.

Burning Pants is ranked 930^th in the world and 53^rd in Lazarus for Most Secular, with 99.15 Atheism Rate.
