The Confederacy of Busyrussian is a tiny, orderly nation, notable for its public floggings, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, cynical population of 12 million Busyrussianians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.2%.

The very strong Busyrussianian economy, worth 770 billion belarusian rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 64,208 belarusian rubles, with the richest citizens earning 9.8 times as much as the poorest.

Teachers prefer to give 'Maybe, Maybe Not' tests when dealing with sensitive subjects, being able to unblock a u-bend pipe is considered a universally essential skill, the morbidly obese often sell stock options on their own corpses, and a speech a day keeps climate change away. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Busyrussian's national animal is the bison, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Busyrussian is ranked 29,516th in the world and 9th in Timoria for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 6,476.23 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
