The Principality of Burback is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 2.878 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 77.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Burbackian economy, worth 239 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 83,206 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Leader's reputation is hard as nails, the military will start wars with other nations on a lark, every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government, and the volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose. 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 23,696th in the world and 924th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 87 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
