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

The Principality of Burback is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its frequent executions, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 2.921 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 77.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Burbackian economy, worth 246 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 84,412 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills, turning eighteen is often referred to as the 'Age of Aquarius', political spontaneity takes a lot of planning, and newspapers and TV broadcasters are given a list of 'acceptable words'. 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 130,747^th in the world and 2,779^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 811.48 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
