The Rogue Nation of Burunka is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, frequent executions, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 520 million Burunkans 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Burunka City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.5%.

The strong Burunkan economy, worth 26.9 trillion dollars a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 51,695 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 158,461 per year while the poor average 13,052, a ratio of 12.1 to 1.

Cassocked priests and choirboys believe that what happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors, Burunka City's iconic yellow taxis are nowhere to be seen, criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program, and burial ceremonies have become as routinised as tax forms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Burunka's national animal is the Falcon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Burunka is ranked 275,328^th in the world and 1^st in Emba Sea for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -10 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
