The Colony of Burota is a mid-sized, cultured nation, remarkable for its burgeoning elephant population. The hard-nosed, devout population of 62 million Burotans 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 relatively small government prioritizes Spirituality, with Education, Defense, and Healthcare also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 18.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Burotan economy, worth 2.92 trillion deniers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Pizza Delivery, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,104 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, organ donation is compulsory, and foreign leaders with unpaid parking tickets are often refused entry. Crime is almost non-existent. Burota's national animal is the elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Burota is ranked 224,788^th in the world and 546^th in Horizon for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 18.5 Effective Tax Rate.
