The Z'loparli de Z'lopink e fuip of Buretes is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Z'loparlo Z'lopitoi Z'lopor with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 1.871 billion Buretenses 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 large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Z'lopink. The average income tax rate is 89.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Buretense economy, worth 350 trillion Z'lodinmoeburs 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 a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. 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 an impressive 187,294 Z'lodinmoeburs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, Buretenses have replaced bears in a popular idiom, the justice of Buretes is considered superior to that of other nations, and hordes of gardening enthusiasts are being banished from cities nationwide. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Buretes's national animal is the Z'loperdrin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Z'lopismo.

Buretes is ranked 2,962nd in the world and 86th in the Rejected Realms for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 18,241.46 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
