The Holy Republic of Busto arsizio2 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ribo with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, public floggings, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.348 billion Busto arsizio2ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ribopolis. The average income tax rate is 94.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Busto arsizio2ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,896 trillion Loras a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 227,154 Loras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is avowedly secular, politicians spend more time in courtrooms than in Parliament, ritual mummification is making a comeback, and no-one can foil the ambitions of Big Aluminium. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Busto arsizio2's national animal is the Carpio volante, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cristianesimo.

Busto arsizio2 is ranked 254,595^th in the world and 4,493^rd in The East Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 44.35 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
