The Federation of Burakis is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Morias Gordon with an even hand, and notable for its vat-grown people, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 9.947 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 92.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Burakisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,262 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 126,938 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 284,515^th in the world and 3,751^st in the West Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -12.33 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
