The Pittsburgh Pirates Farm Team of The Buffalo Bisons is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Jay Bell with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, ban on automobiles, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 6.837 billion Bison hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Buffalo. The average income tax rate is 27.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Buffalo economy, worth 293 trillion wins above replacements a year, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Average income is 42,872 wins above replacements, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

A death threat has replaced 'hello' as an official greeting in the nation, heavy industry grinds to a halt as new equipment must be biked in, even the most lowly council pen-pusher has the same political power as a senior minister, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime is almost non-existent. The Buffalo Bisons's national animal is the bison mascot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Church of Baseball.

The Buffalo Bisons is ranked 164,436^th in the world and 4^th in Minor League Farm System for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 27.55 Effective Tax Rate.
