The Allinean Testing Ship of Borkpeka is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by the Allinean Navy with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and exploding hoverboards. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 4.997 billion personnel are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of ABTS Borkpeka. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 79.9%.

The frighteningly efficient naval economy, worth a remarkable 1,368 trillion Allinean marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 273,838 Allinean marks, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,861,765 per year while the poor average 14,713, a ratio of 126 to 1.

The intelligence community is playing 4-D chess with an imaginary spy network, would-be mescaline users often describe a crawling sensation on their skin, scientists earn more grant money for reproducing old experiments than trying anything new, and only clowns with PhDs from clown college can advise The Allinean Navy on Borkpeka's coulrophobia epidemic. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Borkpeka's national animal is the Tingbian kangaroo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Borkpeka is ranked 7,485th in the world and 20th in The Free Nations Region for Most Secular, with 97.56 Atheism Rate.
