The Burnsian Desert was formed during the Iranian (Then Persia) occupation of India (1648-1847). In 1702, British expatriot Orville Burns created the "Burnsian Seccession Organisation", whose goal was to create a soverign state made up of Arabs, Indians and Britons in South India. After several bloody years of civil war, the Persian government agreed to cede a small polyp of Indian coastline to the BSO. Since this land was so barren and inhospitable (it was located on the tip of today's Al-Samarra Peninsula), the local news outlets coined it "The Burnsian Desert". Orville ratified the name in the Burnsian Charter, some say as a joke. Nevertheless, as time went on, conquest by an increasingly powerful BSO expanded the borders and formed what is now known, modernly, as The Burnsian Desert. TBD is run by an autocratic ruler who changes frequently due to political and military infighting. The leader with the record for the longest term is President-General Mitchell C. Craig.
