The BurgSys Hypernationalist of Ordensstaat Burgundische is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its public floggings, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 764 million Burgundians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ost-Paris. The average income tax rate is 57.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Burgundian economy, worth 75.0 trillion Burgundmarks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 98,215 Burgundmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are forced to donate blood once every three months, unpackaged foodstuffs rot on store shelves, government programs are less "written" and more "plagiarised", and sailors spend their shore leave helping old ladies cross the street. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ordensstaat Burgundische's national animal is the Hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Ordensstaat Burgundische is ranked 51,795^th in the world and 13^th in Imperium of the Wolves for Largest Black Market, with 2.42 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
