The Nomadic Peoples of Buretes is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 609 million Buretes are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Z'lopink. The average income tax rate is 75.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Burete economy, worth 84.9 trillion Z'lodinmoeburs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 139,450 Z'lodinmoeburs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Protecting the land is holey work, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, therapists dispense hugs for heroin dealers and cuddles for crackheads, and drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Buretes's national animal is the Z'loperdrin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Buretes is ranked 198,172^nd in the world and 4,690^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -1.77 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
