The Sultanate of Buristan and the Volta is a massive, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic, devout population of 4.261 billion Buristan and the Voltans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 46.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Buristan and the Voltan economy, worth 110 trillion futurnian dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 25,904 futurnian dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Buristan and the Volta's national animal is the boar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Buristan and the Volta is ranked 109,426^th in the world and 50^th in Emirates of Futurnia for Most Beautiful Environments, with 553.13 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
