The Federation of Bugworld Prime is a huge, safe nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic population of 519 million Prime Bugs are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Little Pluto. The average income tax rate is 72.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Buggish Prime economy, worth 34.2 trillion trade credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 65,857 trade credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bugworld Prime is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, Violetist maidens who fall for an outsider must leave their violet light districts in shame, the slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework, and parents dread their examinations more than their children. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bugworld Prime's national animal is the glass frog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bugworld Prime is ranked 21,620^th in the world and 3^rd in Low Earth Orbit for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,196.13 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
