The Republic of 77 Buckaroos is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, parental licensing program, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.32 billion 77 Buckaroosians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.4%.

The frighteningly efficient 77 Buckaroosian economy, worth 421 trillion Buckaroos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 126,809 Buckaroos, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 402,063 per year while the poor average 30,493, a ratio of 13.2 to 1.

Economic output is rising as the chronically depressed are persuaded not to burden society, children in school playgrounds can be heard chanting the hymns of the Order of Violet, the government has returned all business to private ownership, and baby dolls thrown in the trash are a leading cause of panic attacks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 77 Buckaroos's national animal is the Buckaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

77 Buckaroos is ranked 94,955^th in the world and 39^th in Ascetic Aesthetics for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,457.48 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
