The Republic of Borusha is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The quiet, industrious population of 352 million Borushans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 63.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Borushan economy, worth 9.05 trillion Gadežs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 25,704 Gadežs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is now proudly cholera-free, behind every great person are three dozen other people passing great memos, every week is blindness awareness week, and large areas of Borusha are not accessible by the public. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Borusha's national animal is the Gray Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Borusha is ranked 100,356^th in the world and 1,809^th in the South Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 14.64 average smiles per day.
