The Principality of Burback is a mammoth, genial nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.729 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 92.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Burbackian economy, worth 867 trillion dollars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,196 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many in Burback are born in the purple, years of counter-terrorism planning are foiled by small details, exterminator companies deploy nerve gas in turf wars, and the police crack down on tax evaders without mercy. 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 211,602^nd in the world and 3,382^nd in The North Pacific for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -4.67 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
