The Rogue Nation of Burunka is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 323 million Burunkans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Burunka City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.4%.

The strong Burunkan economy, worth 16.5 trillion dollars a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 51,101 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 155,573 per year while the poor average 13,029, a ratio of 11.9 to 1.

The canal flows through the land like a twisty turny thing, the newest East Lebatuckese coins have "long live East Lebatuck" on heads and "death to Burunka" on tails, Dogman-branded weapons are all the rage in the militaristic comic-book community, and a widely accepted trade policy is "tit-for-tat". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Burunka's national animal is the Falcon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Burunka is ranked 132,913^th in the world and 1^st in Emba Sea for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 517.11 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
