The Commonwealth of Buggustland is a tiny, genial nation, notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 12 million Buggustlandics have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 13.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Buggustlandian economy, worth 719 billion Buggustlandic Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,928 Buggustlandic Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The death penalty has been reintroduced, it is illegal to brush crumbs off your clothing outdoors, murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, and school lessons are constantly interrupted by 'teacher needs a break' time. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Buggustland's national animal is the Burger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Buggustland is ranked 85,971^st in the world and 124^th in Aesica for Smartest Citizens, with 38.27 quips per hour.
