The State of Horsburgh is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 34.865 billion Horsburghians 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, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government is dominated by the Department of Welfare, with Healthcare and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.6%.

The thriving Horsburghian economy, worth a remarkable 1,670 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 47,924 betales, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 185,326 per year while the poor average 8,503, a ratio of 21.8 to 1.

All tariffs have been abolished, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, Horsburgh has designated Westminster as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Horsburgh in an international press conference. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Horsburgh's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Horsburgh is ranked 43,284th in the world and 208th in Ancient Lands for Most Stationary, with 1,025.40303818608 days.
