The Metalheadz of Buada Lagoon is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, ban on automobiles, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, humorless population of 36.28 billion Buada Lagoonians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Buada Lagoon City. The average income tax rate is 84.8%.

The Buada Lagoonian economy, worth a remarkable 2,451 trillion australian dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. Average income is 67,578 australian dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

An increasingly villainous series of sports coaches are demanding the national mascot's true identity, the sound of wooden legs echo throughout Buada Lagoon after the recent introduction of the Foot Tax, mollycoddled youths run the country, and mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Buada Lagoon's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Buada Lagoon is ranked 1,382^nd in the world and 6^th in belgium for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 14,118.36 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
