The 偉大なる皇国結合 of Burgundaen is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Imperial Council with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 4.949 billion Burgunds have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kawasaki. The average income tax rate is 63.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Burgundian economy, worth 662 trillion Kawas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 133,914 Kawas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, weight loss clubs that guarantee losing a stone a month are talking about misplacing rocks, the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, and commemoration of the Great RGBN War costs almost as much as the war itself. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Burgundaen's national animal is the Ezo Red Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Shintoism.

Burgundaen is ranked 133,688^th in the world and 63^rd in RGBN for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 751.6 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
