The Republic of Bucha 15 is a tiny, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 7 million Bucha 15ians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 16.7%.

The Bucha 15ian economy, worth 336 billion baht a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 47,971 baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, surveillance cameras are banned, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and the saying "when pigs fly" has been changed to "when the lights work". Crime is moderate. Bucha 15's national animal is the penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Bucha 15 is ranked 209,164^th in the world and 21^st in Bucharestia for Safest, scoring 49.55 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
