The Federation of Burakis is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Morias Gordon with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, soft-spoken computers, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate population of 11.247 billion Burakisians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wondersin. The average income tax rate is 92.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Burakisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,413 trillion Bortars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is an impressive 125,712 Bortars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's beloved 'good-natured doormat' is inundated by begging letters, government negotiators never forget to say "pretty please" when begging for custody of its criminals, convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail, and there's a hole in the heart of every Burakisian city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Burakis's national animal is the Burakis feral hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Burakis is ranked 206,059th in the world and 2,039th in the West Pacific for Most Authoritarian, with 570.34 milliStalins.
