The Tarwebiertje of Wheatbuk is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mister Buk with an even hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, flagrant waste-dumping, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 25.427 billion Wheatbukians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wheatbuk City. The average income tax rate is 59.2%.

The thriving Wheatbukian economy, worth a remarkable 2,254 trillion Buks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Information Technology. Average income is 88,676 Buks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

A referendum must be held in order for any new law to be passed, any citizen who cries is immediately assigned a psychiatrist, Mister Buk's former secretary was last sighted on her new yacht, and former school buses now regularly shuttle kids to the nearest shopping centers to work. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wheatbuk's national animal is the goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Alcoholism.

Wheatbuk is ranked 167,349^th in the world and 40^th in Vlaanderen for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 327.62 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
