The Militarist Police State of Burvenchkaht is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by State-General Iliophoros Plastis with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 4.756 billion Greeks are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Codename - Athinai. The average income tax rate is 92.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Burvenchian economy, worth 621 trillion Drachmas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 130,739 Drachmas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Former first wives now find themselves mothers to twenty children, there is no such thing as an innocent fling in the Burvenchian military, construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, and the police crack down on tax evaders without mercy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Burvenchkaht's national animal is the White Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

Burvenchkaht is ranked 18,761st in the world and 362nd in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,068.38 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
