The Greater Hegemony Republic of Bursken is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Camsin Costello with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, national health service, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.713 billion Burskonians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Treskon. The average income tax rate is 92.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Burskenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,271 trillion Stavs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 164,889 Stavs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, Camsin Costello always arrives fashionably late and smelling of mushrooms, it is mandatory to learn evolution in schools, and arguments about toilet seats being left up or down get surprisingly heated. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bursken's national animal is the falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Kadores.

Bursken is ranked 33,721st in the world and 60th in Europeia for Most Stationary, with 1,302.78161760812 days.
