The Republic of Defending Butterfree is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, frequent executions, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed population of 728 million Butterfrees 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 21.9%.
The sizeable but inefficient Butterfree economy, worth 32.5 trillion Pokedollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,689 Pokedollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.
East Lebatuckese luxury goods are plundered by the working class of Defending Butterfree, failed genetic experiments wreak havoc as they roam the countryside, the election for Leader's office's janitor is heating up, and the right school tie opens more doors than the right qualification. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Defending Butterfree's national animal is the Butterfree, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Defending Butterfree is ranked 191,705th in the world and 3,982nd in Artificial Solar System for Most Avoided, scoring 1.76 on the Kardashian Reflex Score.
