The Realm of Borunsia is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by PM Earnest Essen with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 9.682 billion Borunsians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Uyo Metropolitan Area. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 93.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Borunsian economy, worth a remarkable 2,560 trillion Borunsian Rand a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 264,421 Borunsian Rand, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Designer cars make no distinction between poor people and speed bumps, there's stiff competition in the medical marketplace, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Borunsia's national animal is the Black Jaguar, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

Borunsia is ranked 3,862nd in the world and 3rd in Africa for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 20,053.35 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
