The Ordensstaat of Burgundian Empire is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Herr Poopenfärten with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, state-planned economy, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.572 billion Burgundians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order and Administration are also considered important, while Social Policy and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ost-Paris. The average income tax rate is 43.0%.
The large but inefficient Burgundian economy, worth 263 trillion Burgundische Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 57,541 Burgundische Marks, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.
Foreign lack of enthusiasm for Burgundian nose-flute disco metal is seen as a reasonable casus belli, fancy dress parties are raided by military police for new recruits, children playing with walkie-talkies are told to 'get a job', and politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Burgundian Empire's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is the Burgundian System.
Burgundian Empire is ranked 131,709th in the world and 8th in Nova Libertatia for Most Stationary, with 246.89447393188 days.
