The Federal Republic of Burikinia is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Anto Kertajaya with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, keen interest in outer space, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 15.086 billion Burikinians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Burik City. The average income tax rate is 94.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Burikinian economy, worth a remarkable 3,822 trillion Bruns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 253,364 Bruns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mystics are claiming that a simultaneous rise in scepticism and education budgets is correlation rather than causation, the government burgles the houses of holidaying citizens, signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, and the military has forsaken terrestrial warfare. Crime is totally unknown. Burikinia's national animal is the Azure Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Islam.

Burikinia is ranked 102,786^th in the world and 3,814^th in Lazarus for Most Politically Free, scoring 66.19 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
