The Principality of Burback is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, parental licensing program, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 3.006 billion Burbackians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Binghamton. The average income tax rate is 80.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Burbackian economy, worth 244 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,302 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nothing gets the party jumping like Leader specifying how high, the running costs of homeless shelters are so high that it would be cheaper to buy houses for the homeless, businesses that prove successful are immediately broken up, and feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Burback's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Burback is ranked 207,871^st in the world and 4,572^nd in The North Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -2.53 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
