The Democratic State of Buckerino is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Christopher Bucky Marcopus with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 5.672 billion Buckerinorians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marsupia. The average income tax rate is 94.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Buckerinorian economy, worth a remarkable 1,089 trillion Regals a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 192,106 Regals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is hoping that medical aid will speak louder than human rights abuses, having skeletons in one's closet is no longer just a macabre idiom, construction workers evacuate work sites after finding sharp rocks on the ground, and mechanics are often exhausted by their work. Crime is totally unknown. Buckerino's national animal is the Kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Buckerino is ranked 3,395^th in the world and 156^th in The North Pacific for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 7,510.77 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
