The Principality of Burback is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 2.848 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 76.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Burbackian economy, worth 233 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 82,084 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Parents are relieved they no longer need to help with their kids' algebra homework, the nation forgives those who are big enough to admit they made a mistake, the government funds large training centres to turn falcons into functioning members of society, and large sections of Burback have been named national reserves to protect the native tribes living there. 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 33,125^th in the world and 1,170^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 81.07 law-abiding acts per hour.
