The Commonwealth of Buggustland is a tiny, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 14 million Buggustlandics 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 Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 13.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Buggustlandian economy, worth 809 billion Buggustlandic Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 57,763 Buggustlandic Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, all telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons', the early morning commute lasts into the afternoon, and politicians are losing their jobs in a plan to make the government 'leaner and fitter'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Buggustland's national animal is the Burger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Buggustland is ranked 42,706^th in the world and 85^th in Aesica for Least Corrupt Governments, with 93.92 percentage of bribes refused.
