The Republic of Bucha 13 is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its suspicion of poets. The quiet, industrious population of 7 million Bucha 13ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 25.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Bucha 13ian economy, worth 264 billion lire a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 37,782 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding", organ donation is compulsory, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and the government is seen to favor traditionalist religions. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bucha 13's national animal is the cow.

Bucha 13 is ranked 124,807^th in the world and 8^th in Bucharestia for Safest, scoring 72.19 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
