The Hotto Dogu of Burgerkrieg is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Caliph Merkel with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 16.251 billion Burgerkriegons are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. The average income tax rate is 76.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Burgerkriegon economy, worth 942 trillion dinarmarks 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, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming and Arms Manufacturing. 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 57,977 dinarmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The education system is famed for its taxing exams, bungee jumpers rarely go splat, Caliph Merkel has just been declared ruler of Burgerkrieg in an international press conference, and European Islam has been named as Burgerkrieg's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Burgerkrieg's national animal is the Islamic eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is European Islam.

Burgerkrieg is ranked 70,018^th in the world and 1^st in Yolopmopomplop for Most Patriotic, with 23.8 flags saluted per person per day.
