The United Socialist States of Borashka is a tiny, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 18 million Borashkans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 36.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The fragile Borashkan economy, worth 539 billion pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 29,967 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government loves seeing the little people fight, hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have, people accuse the government of being in bed with Big Safety, and aeroplane cockpits no longer have altimeters or airspeed indicators. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Borashka's national animal is the Pygmy pony.

Borashka is ranked 145,684^th in the world and 42^nd in Imperatus for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,155.24 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
