The Principality of Burback is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, parental licensing program, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 2.952 billion Burbackians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous 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 78.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Burbackian economy, worth 251 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,193 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

It's considered a civil right to be allowed to neglect and mistreat your own children, Leader claims to be the epitome of family values, biker gangs and fashionistas are converting to Violetism en masse, and military spending is on the increase. 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 16,427^th in the world and 773^rd in The North Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 129.36 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
