“If it's not cheese we don't want it”

Overview • Factbook • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The People's Republic of Bubyland is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Buby Mumkey with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 2.274 billion Bubies 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ewok City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 84.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Buby economy, worth 200 trillion Cheeses a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 88,127 Cheeses, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

Television characters who ask how someone's doing are charged with harassment, the government is flooded with compensation requests, the right to free speech is being drastically curtailed, and managed media presence leaves Buby Mumkey's family smelling as sweet as roses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bubyland's national animal is the Ewok, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Peace And Positivity.

Bubyland is ranked 207,614^th in the world and 7,141^st in the South Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 13,395.35 Standard Monetary Units.
