The War Machine of Borman Empire is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Bhalk with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 34.042 billion Borman Imperials enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Bormanian economy, worth an astonishing 13,808 trillion Denariis a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 405,623 Denariis, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,783,198 per year while the poor average 3,853, a ratio of 981 to 1.

Mathematicians are gathering an infinite number of Midgets and typewriters to see if they can recreate the works of Max Barry, bands of adventurers rove the countryside searching for monsters, warfare increasingly resembles a video game, and one year's corporation tax from three international megacorporations has funded one dozen shiny black pencils for Emperor Bhalk's office. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Borman Empire's national animal is the Midget, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Bhalkanism.

Borman Empire is ranked 993^rd in the world and 2^nd in Gholgoth for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring 73 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
