Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Motherland of BURNINATI0N is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Doctor Thorgood with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 7.209 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous, liberal government is mainly concerned with Defence, although Education and Commerce are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Rebirth. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Book Publishing and Automobile Manufacturing.

Red Cross demand for body bags are rising while sutures are decreasing, nude art is becoming wildly popular, the government has cut its subsidies for all special interest groups, and agricultural science is the most competitive subject at BURNINATI0N's universities. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown. BURNINATI0N's national animal is the Wild Turkey, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is The Gods of the Warp, and its currency is the Mark.

BURNINATI0N is ranked 19th in Korel and 85,653rd in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring -42 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
