The Federal Republic of Bueszqostan is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Bueszqo with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, avant-garde cinema, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 7.617 billion Bueszqostanians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Las Ckebe. The average income tax rate is 79.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bueszqostanian economy, worth 834 trillion Nishams a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 109,621 Nishams, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, concussed Killer Fishball players cannot remember their lineup position, 4-year-olds are often found reminiscing about the 'good old days', and a new guerrilla marketing campaign for tap water involves government agents spraying random citizens with hose water. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bueszqostan's national animal is the Killer Fish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Bueszqostan is ranked 49,892^nd in the world and 1,758^th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 51.48 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
