The Principality of Burback is a mammoth, safe nation, remarkable for its smutty television, infamous sell-swords, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.398 billion Burbackians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Binghamton. The average income tax rate is 93.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Burbackian economy, worth 981 trillion dollars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,770 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Graffiti is done with immaculate multi-layer shading, lifelong celibates are surprised to receive government-issue condoms in the post, pillows outnumber picket signs at most workers rallies, and this year's hottest fashion trend is the Lese Majeste collection. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Burback's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Burback is ranked 225,795^th in the world and 3,143^rd in The North Pacific for Most Conservative, scoring 43.5 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
