The Incorporated States of Burunthian Khanate is a tiny, genial nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, national health service, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, cynical population of 8 million Burunthian Khanateans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Burunthian Khanatean economy, worth 136 billion Zedongs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 17,087 Zedongs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Parents who fail mandatory parenting classes risk having their children taken away, endangered bison are herded across the border to prevent them from trampling on native prairie grass, budding hospital branches are leaving arborists stumped, and students consistently complain that the wi-fi ate their homework. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Burunthian Khanate's national animal is the Fih, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Burunthian Khanate is ranked 322,680^th in the world and 16^th in Mazedornia for Largest Populations, with 8.00 million capita.
