The Burman Kakistocracy of Basementees is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Ođinnshrafn Khagan Numerian IV Drake with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 23.375 billion Thu'uls 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Novus Damascus. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient K't Hu'ul economy, worth an astonishing 17,282 trillion Runcibles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 739,337 Runcibles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Disposable antiseptic wipes are considered a social necessity, there's a literal nanny state for the legions of children taken by social services, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, and more money is spent on policing the welfare system for abuse than on the welfare system itself. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Basementees's national animal is the Ursine Phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Nahuatl.
Basementees is ranked 7,266th in the world and 6th in Pax Britannia for Largest Soda Pop Sector, scoring 6,581.12 on the Addison-Fukk Productivity Rating.
