The Federal Republic of Borgnec is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 12 million Borgnians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.9%.

The Borgnecian economy, worth 812 billion Billards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 67,681 Billards, with the richest citizens earning 7.8 times as much as the poorest.

They unpaved paradise and tore up a parking lot (ooh, bop bop bop), holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, and 50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool. Crime is totally unknown. Borgnec's national animal is the Borgnian Steppe Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Borgnec is ranked 266,146^th in the world and 138^th in Albastru for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 11.92 Effective Tax Rate.
