The Federation of Burakis is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Morias Gordon with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 9.902 billion Burakisians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wondersin. The average income tax rate is 92.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Burakisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,258 trillion Bortars 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 Tourism. Average income is an impressive 127,104 Bortars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pocket calculators are seen as status symbols for the ostentatiously wealthy, the nation's beloved 'good-natured doormat' is inundated by begging letters, government negotiators never forget to say "pretty please" when begging for custody of its criminals, and convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Burakis's national animal is the Burakis feral hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Burakis is ranked 14,389th in the world and 203rd in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 94.85 law-abiding acts per hour.
