The State of Bournat is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. The democratic population of 37.274 billion Bournatians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Douglas Heights. The average income tax rate is 48.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but inefficient Bournatian economy, worth a remarkable 1,014 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Soda Sales, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 27,223 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, Bournat's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, the government is avowedly atheist, and Bournat has designated Douglas Heights as its capital city. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bournat's national animal is the deer.

Bournat is ranked 41,438^th in the world and 1^st in Kievan Rus for Highest Drug Use, scoring 296.81 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
