The Democratic Republic of Buttery Biscuits is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 433 million Buttery Biscuitsians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gravy Boat. The average income tax rate is 35.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Buttery Biscuitsian economy, worth 11.4 trillion lards a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Average income is 26,280 lards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Planespotters are emigrating in droves, the government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region, money can't buy happiness but it can buy immunity to prosecution, and Mr Happy's Funland has just been named Buttery Biscuits's new capital. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Buttery Biscuits's national animal is the jaguar.

Buttery Biscuits is ranked 152,980^th in the world and 8^th in T2R for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,540.79 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
