The Republic of Burgerkitty is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 263 million Burgerkittyians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Burgundia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.0%.

The strong Burgerkittyian economy, worth 18.6 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,605 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 8.0 times as much as the poorest.

One-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, women complaining about lack of opportunity are told to "man up", and parents often ask to see a credit report before lending money to their own children. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Burgerkitty's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Burgerkitty is ranked 152,552^nd in the world and 31^st in Right to Life for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 405.55 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
