The Queendom of Burnet Flag is a titanic, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 19.294 billion Burnet Flagians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, pro-business, outspoken government is effectively ruled by the Department of Spirituality, with Environment and Industry not funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.8%.

The Burnet Flagian economy, worth 838 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 43,453 betales, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 270,671 per year while the poor average 2,983, a ratio of 90.7 to 1.

Genetic researchers have been expelled, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, military funding has been stripped back, and smiling in public is seen as criminally suspicious behaviour. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Burnet Flag's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Burnet Flag is ranked 290,441^st in the world and 1^st in the Republic of Texas for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -39.37 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
