The Historic Union of Burkitts is a massive, genial nation, ruled by locals with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.064 billion Burkitters hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, although Welfare, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while Defense isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Paul's Church. The average income tax rate is 44.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Burkish economy, worth 100 trillion unionbacks 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 Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is 94,185 unionbacks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The government keeps introducing new foreign species to combat the previous ones it has introduced, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, Locals has more friends than ever before, and citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Burkitts's national animal is the oriole, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Burkitts is ranked 202,878^th in the world and 3^rd in Dexter for Fattest Citizens, with 8.57 Obesity Rate.
