In-game[]
Burnham's role in the game is largely limited to interactions with the United States of America early on, during the administration of Richard Nixon. He will attempt to set up a dictatorship in Guyana, which will result in America performing a police action. Due to how vast the difference in strength is, Guyana will almost always lose (although if the player does badly, they can win), and afterwards, Burnham will be replaced by Cheddi Jagan.
Trivia[]
In real life, Burnham was the leader of Guyana from 1964 until his death, serving as prime minister from 1964 to 1980, then as president of the country from 1980 until his death in 1985.
