The Federal Republic of Borgnec is a small, genial nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 20 million Borgnians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.5%.

The strong Borgnecian economy, worth 1.40 trillion Billards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 69,879 Billards, with the richest citizens earning 7.6 times as much as the poorest.

Tardiness has increased after carpooling was classified as a criminal offense, parking's carefree without parking car fees, the "Dreadnowt" is the pride and joy of the Borgnecian Navy, and it turns out that trees grow on Billards. Crime is totally unknown. Borgnec's national animal is the Borgnian Steppe Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Borgnec is ranked 114,420^th in the world and 74^th in Albastru for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 741.22 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
