The Confederate Microstates of Burugaria is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Wonderful Denizens with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 10.995 billion Burugarians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, corrupt, liberal, pro-business government prioritizes Industry, although Education and Healthcare are also considered important, while Law & Order and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Where Your Heart Is. The average income tax rate is 5.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Burugarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,266 trillion Levs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 115,143 Levs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The optimally efficient parking strategy for business commuters is referred to as the "traveling salesman problem", toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters, Where Your Heart Is has restaurants serving every meat from aardvark to zebra, and even snitches get stitches. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Burugaria's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Invisible Hand of the Free Market.

Burugaria is ranked 280,419th in the world and 9,519th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 6.315620958 days.
