The Republic of Burner Visor is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.161 billion Burner Visorians 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.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 72.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Burner Visorian economy, worth 599 trillion Cards a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 143,973 Cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

The statue in the Chicago Plaza has a solar panel for a hat, billions of Cards are spent to take high-quality photos of the Kuriboh Nebula, hordes of faceless civil servants are running cities, and parents giddily refuse to pay their toddlers' medical bills. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Burner Visor's national animal is the Kuriboh, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Burner Visor is ranked 277,183rd in the world and 8,516th in Suspicious for Highest Food Quality, scoring 6.21 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
