The Federal Socialist Republic of Buyo is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Ilyiparise Alborz with an even hand, and renowned for its soft-spoken computers, smutty television, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.957 billion Buyonese are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gemun. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Buyonese economy, worth 370 trillion yuan a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 125,229 yuan, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many suspect that the 'Whinny The Plop' children's magazine contains covert criticism of Ilyiparise Alborz, giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, and the weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Buyo's national animal is the crane, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Buyo is ranked 137,830^th in the world and 139^th in Conch Kingdom for Most Extreme, scoring 20.06 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
