The United Clans And Communes of Bursk is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its public floggings, daily referendums, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 3.085 billion Burskiots 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 tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, although Welfare, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.8%.

The thriving Burskish economy, worth 230 trillion gnyoplas a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 74,611 gnyoplas, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 353,174 per year while the poor average 9,321, a ratio of 37.9 to 1.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population, a death threat has replaced 'hello' as an official greeting in the nation, and the navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Bursk's national animal is the Raven, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Bursk is ranked 35,584^th in the world and 68^th in Talonia for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 81.33 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
