The Free Land of Borkey Kurg is a massive, genial nation, ruled by The Council of Borkurgian Progress with an iron fist, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, smutty television, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.661 billion Borkurgians 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, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Healthcare, and Environment are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Borkey Kurg. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Borkurgian economy, worth 511 trillion kronor 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 Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 139,643 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, white strait-jackets are the new orange jumpsuits, feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary, and fashion models are guaranteed to be 100% genuinely as anorexic as they appear on magazine covers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Borkey Kurg's national animal is the Albatros, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Borkey Kurg is ranked 284,124^th in the world and 6,201^st in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 0.41 flags saluted per person per day.
