The Sandwich of Burger is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by His Epicness the Supreme Emperor Preston with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, anti-smoking policies, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.077 billion Burgerians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tallow. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.0%.

The powerhouse Burgerian economy, worth 236 trillion Woodworths a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 113,973 Woodworths, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 321,721 per year while the poor average 32,320, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

Cloning has been banned, the cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, and the deaf are perplexed when the weather report tells them that the wind will be "bringing some rain along the Nazi ghosts". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Burger's national animal is the Matthew, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Japanese Women.

Burger is ranked 21,879^th in the world and 1^st in The Epic Legion Nations of Woodworth for Most Corrupt Governments, with 93.96 kickbacks per hour.
