The Darwinian Force of Burning is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Charles Darwin with an even hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, enforced nudity, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 26.057 billion Burningians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government prioritizes Welfare, although Healthcare, Spirituality, and Education are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Galapagos City. The average income tax rate is 68.8%.

The enormous but inefficient Burningian economy, worth a remarkable 1,073 trillion Dims 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 Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. 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 41,184 Dims, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws, major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Galapagos City Times is sold out, and 'unconventional' weaponry has been banned. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Burning's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is a major religion.

Burning is ranked 229,347th in the world and 1st in The Darwin Allied Republics for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -1.26 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
