The Dictatorship of Butanes is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Pentanes with an iron fist, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.057 billion Butanesians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Butanes City. The average income tax rate is 67.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Butanesian economy, worth 276 trillion bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 90,365 bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, homeowners are evicted to make way for new runways, Jack Russells have proven to be terrible spies, and Butanesians incessantly needle their doctors for relief. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Butanes's national animal is the Human, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Chemistry.

Butanes is ranked 151,629^th in the world and 1,954^th in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 464.27 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
