The Military World of Butuh Energen is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Queen Laranna with an even hand, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working population of 5.095 billion Butuh Energenians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Administration, and Law & Order are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Naystin. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.3%.

The very strong Butuh Energenian economy, worth 356 trillion Peris a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Information Technology. Average income is 69,901 Peris, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 352,272 per year while the poor average 7,737, a ratio of 45.5 to 1.

Students cut up leftover Peris during Arts and Crafts, high school principals regularly send armed truancy patrols to drag problem students to school, rich people sell their mansions to pay for endless rows of mobile homes, and the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Naystin Times is sold out. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Butuh Energen's national animal is the Wolvian, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Violetism.

Butuh Energen is ranked 134,142^nd in the world and 6^th in Federation of Galactic Empires for Fattest Citizens, with 10 Obesity Rate.
