The Republic of Buhers Mk II is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical population of 291 million Buhers Mk IIians 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 enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 73.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but sluggish Buhers Mk IIian economy, worth 6.66 trillion Chinese ironclad Dingyuans 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 Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 22,879 Chinese ironclad Dingyuans, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The government hopes austerity will lead to prosperity, ill and injured visitors in Buhers Mk II have to walk it off until they return home, asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, and it's considered a civil right to be allowed to neglect and mistreat your own children. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Buhers Mk II's national animal is the murderous citizen, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Buhers Mk II is ranked 229,663rd in the world and 1,093rd in 10000 Islands for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -6.78 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
