The Union of Burma is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 1.285 billion 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 medium-sized, liberal, pro-business government appears to have no policy direction whatsoever. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12%. A large private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Retail.

Crime is crippling, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Burma's national animal is the Burmese Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the kyat.

Burma is ranked 40th in Asia and 59,355th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 0 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
