“Everything for Burunka”

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

The Rogue Nation of Burunka is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, keen interest in outer space, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 317 million Burunkans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Burunka City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.3%.

The strong Burunkan economy, worth 16.6 trillion dollars a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 52,234 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 163,485 per year while the poor average 12,798, a ratio of 12.8 to 1.

One does not simply walk into the tundra, literally voiceless people are unable to protest when food and water are denied to them, stony-faced prosecutors play loud gangster rap music during court proceedings, and Burunka has designated Burunka City as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Burunka's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Burunka is ranked 146,076^th in the world and 1^st in Emba Sea for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 562.91 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
