The Glorious Empire of Burning Pants is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The King of Braves with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 21.37 billion Burner of Pants live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken individuals juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of adventure. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Pants-Burner economy, worth a remarkable 7,812 trillion G-Stones a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 365,564 G-Stones, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Bombs are permitted on planes for the 'security of the passengers', it's always rabbit season, rioting and unrest sweep the nation, and the "boy who cried wolf" policy makes sick people reluctant to call an ambulance. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Burning Pants's national animal is the Fighting Mechanoid, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Oath Sworn Through Courage.

Burning Pants is ranked 306,006th in the world and 13,023rd in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring -19 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
