The Aboriginal Flag Collector of BuccaRuu is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Bucca's CEO with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 28.557 billion buccarians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Fort Ruu. The average income tax rate is 97.8%.

The frighteningly efficient buccarian economy, worth an astonishing 17,440 trillion bucca dollhas 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. 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 a breathtaking 610,729 bucca dollhas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elderly citizens regularly buy posh multimillion-bucca dollha mansions, the Smalltopian embassy doubles as an electoral campaign headquarters, translators are keen to explain feline MPs' claw and ordure policies, and woke teenagers spontaneously burst into tears when thinking about the world's woes. Crime is totally unknown. BuccaRuu's national animal is the pink dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

BuccaRuu is ranked 1,978^th in the world and 1^st in The Versutian Federation for Lowest Crime Rates, with 145.55 law-abiding acts per hour.
