The City of Burgos is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Vivanco with an even hand, and notable for its restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 19.976 billion Burgaleses are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Burgos. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.4%.

The very strong Burgales economy, worth a remarkable 1,133 trillion pesetas a year, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is 56,718 pesetas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 177,517 per year while the poor average 13,897, a ratio of 12.8 to 1.

Vivanco's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, the legislature keeps promising "more study" of corruption allegations against the parliamentary whip system, students cut up leftover pesetas during Arts and Crafts, and open-casket funerals are avoided at all cost. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Burgos's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Burgos is ranked 87,874^th in the world and 7^th in Cities for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 12,878.7 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
