The Republic of BurgerBorg is a very large, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 219 million BurgerBorgians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 9.1%.

The very strong BurgerBorgian economy, worth 14.4 trillion Burger credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 65,765 Burger credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

An online tea-bagging epidemic is getting worse and (meta)worse, cheese lovers have a case of the bleus, traffic tickets are punishable by 9000 push-ups, and the government keeps its thumb on the scales of justice. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. BurgerBorg's national animal is the hams, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

BurgerBorg is ranked 129,978^th in the world and 2^nd in Kephria for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 80.93 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
