The Grand Duchy of Burnt Calculators is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by the Grand Duchyk with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, ban on automobiles, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working population of 2.605 billion Calculatorsians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Infernost. The average income tax rate is 37.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Burnt Calculatorsian economy, worth 299 trillion burnitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 114,956 burnitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory, being able to unblock a u-bend pipe is considered a universally essential skill, lending money has become a major liability, and foreign musicians that The Grand Duchyk dislikes are turned away at the border. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Burnt Calculators's national animal is the beef.

Burnt Calculators is ranked 159,052^nd in the world and 2^nd in Renovatio Imperii for Largest Populations, with 2.60 billion capita.
