“For the Motherland!”

The Motherland of BURNINATI0N is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Earl the Incinerator with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.034 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Defence, although Education and Commerce are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City of the Rebirth. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing industries.

Citizens are permitted to carry concealed handguns, artists are pillars of society, there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, and most of the military's funding goes into researching space-age weaponry. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown. BURNINATI0N's national animal is the Wild Turkey, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Mark.

BURNINATI0N is ranked 9th in the region and 4,911th in the world for Largest Basket Weaving Sector.
