The United States of Borusian is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Kete Bowman with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, parental licensing program, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 952 million Borusians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21.5%.

The powerhouse Borusianian economy, worth 81.4 trillion Borusian dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,514 Borusian dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 252,024 per year while the poor average 22,832, a ratio of 11.0 to 1.

Increasing numbers of children in Borusian have different eye and hair color to their supposed fathers, the tobacco industry has burnt out, taxpayer-funded government ads are promoting Brancaland as a premier filming location, and teenage boys are raving about how the latest AI assistant sounds exactly like a sexy movie star. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Borusian's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Borusian is ranked 80,987^th in the world and 247^th in Concord for Highest Average Incomes, with 85,514.9 Standard Monetary Units.
