The Most Serene Republic of Buffaloraven is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 246 million Buffaloravenians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Healthcare, and International Aid are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 54.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but sluggish Buffaloravenian economy, worth 5.87 trillion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 23,869 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The nation's war memorials are being torn down and replaced with peace gardens, stone wrist watches that weigh 20lb are the latest trend, teenagers performing appendectomies on their friends has become a popular schoolyard prank, and voting is compulsory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Buffaloraven's national animal is the falcon.
Buffaloraven is ranked 251,665th in the world and 11,450th in Lazarus for Most Conservative, scoring 29.8 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
