The Yahlified State of Burvenchkaht is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by State-General Iliophoros Plastis with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, sprawling nuclear power plants, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.705 billion Greeks are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Codename - Athinai. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Burvenchian economy, worth 859 trillion Drachmas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 150,669 Drachmas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 431,989 per year while the poor average 41,810, a ratio of 10.3 to 1.

State-General Iliophoros Plastis's family members carry literal get-out-of-jail-free cards, a rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows, father-son fishing trips have been banned, and many Greeks twitch nervously at the sight of nuns. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Burvenchkaht's national animal is the White Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

Burvenchkaht is ranked 15,955th in the world and 117th in Europe for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 7,077.52 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
