The Fiefdom of Bourgalouxe is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, lack of airports, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.518 billion Bourgalouxeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 79.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Bourgalouxean economy, worth 50.6 trillion 🤣🤣s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration. Average income is 33,337 🤣🤣s, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pocket calculators are seen as status symbols for the ostentatiously wealthy, giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Leader is a silly poophead, the blood on the hands of Leader may not be metaphorical, and royalist is the most offensive slur in the Bourgalouxean language. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bourgalouxe's national animal is the Unicode, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bourgalouxe is ranked 159,083^rd in the world and 808^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Patriotic, with 8.14 flags saluted per person per day.
