The Republic of Bucha 17 is a tiny, pleasant nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 7 million Bucha 17ians 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 18.2%.
The Bucha 17ian economy, worth 321 billion dollars a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 45,893 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.
Organ donation is compulsory, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and the experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Leopard Dung" has been declared a national treasure. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bucha 17's national animal is the leopard.
Bucha 17 is ranked 152,002nd in the world and 14th in Bucharestia for Safest, scoring 59.53 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
