The Ploughman Poet of Robert Burns is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Bard of Ayrshire with a fair hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, daily referendums, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 22.584 billion Robert Burnsians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dumfries UK. The average income tax rate is 10.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Robert Burnsian economy, worth a remarkable 3,824 trillion Scottish Poems a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 169,355 Scottish Poems, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

The easiest method of escaping from prison is to take singing lessons, the country behaves just like a group of independent provinces all stacked up under a trench coat, pausing for applause during a speech is seen as a form of censorship, and people hearing voices that tell them to commit crimes are automatically assumed to be holy. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Robert Burns's national animal is the Louse and a Mouse, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Agnostic Pantheism.

Robert Burns is ranked 30,904th in the world and 200th in NationStates for Most Beautiful Environments, with 825.12 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
