The Republic of Bustined Up is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Bustin with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 22.579 billion Bustined Upians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bustonia. The average income tax rate is 95.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Bustined Upian economy, worth a remarkable 3,403 trillion Bustins a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 150,735 Bustins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The children of Bustined Up are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, the government has legalised small-scale capitalism, immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups, and older citizens lament over the loss of law and order. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bustined Up's national animal is the Human, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bustined Up is ranked 289,358th in the world and 130th in Spiritus for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -21.68 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
