The Sovereign Union of Bulraton is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Archduke Soliman with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and smutty television. The compassionate, cynical population of 19.818 billion Allemerians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Allemantheia. The average income tax rate is 91.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bulratonian economy, worth a remarkable 2,801 trillion Runds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 141,372 Runds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The monarchy has adopted absolute primogeniture, nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more, pilots always remember to send their doctors a Maxxmas card, and mystics are claiming that a simultaneous rise in scepticism and education budgets is correlation rather than causation. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bulraton's national animal is the Caribou, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bulraton is ranked 9,524th in the world and 8th in The Commonwealth Society for Highest Food Quality, scoring 164.22 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
