The Free Land of Borkey Kurg is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by The Council of Borkurgian Progress with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and compulsory vegetarianism. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.529 billion Borkurgians 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 enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Healthcare, and Environment also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Borkey Kurg. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Borkurgian economy, worth 473 trillion kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 134,214 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, airplane passenger seat sizes and ticket prices are both first-class, citizens are frequently searched for illegal weapons, and environmentalists are advocating slash-and-burn in the nation's forests. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Borkey Kurg's national animal is the Albatros, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Borkey Kurg is ranked 11,183^rd in the world and 488^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 99.15 law-abiding acts per hour.
