The Free Land of Borkey Kurg is a massive, genial nation, ruled by The Council of Borkurgian Progress with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, rampant corporate plagiarism, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.534 billion Borkurgians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Healthcare, and Environment also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Borkey Kurg. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Borkurgian economy, worth 471 trillion kronor 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 and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 133,543 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction, there are no more heroes any more, political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions, and school lunches are made with hypo-allergenic wood pulp. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Borkey Kurg's national animal is the Albatros, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Borkey Kurg is ranked 3,803rd in the world and 197th in The North Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 54.64 average smiles per day.
