The United Socialist States of Buzz Buzz is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Goddess Atalanta with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, soft-spoken computers, and daily referendums. The compassionate population of 8.633 billion Buzz Buzzians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pleione. The average income tax rate is 91.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Buzz Buzzian economy, worth a remarkable 1,136 trillion Canna Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 131,624 Canna Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Finders keepers is the law of the land, midwives must be skilled with the blade, restaurants cater to pregnancy cravings, and self-sufficiency is built on seizing foreign assets. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Buzz Buzz's national animal is the Buzzdorian Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Buzz Buzz is ranked 10,969^th in the world and 37^th in the Outback for Highest Poor Incomes, with 121,147.02 Standard Monetary Units.
