The Republic of Budjatton is a mammoth, safe nation, remarkable for its stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 6.354 billion Budjattonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 35.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Budjattonian economy, worth 126 trillion pesos a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 19,840 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Budjatton's national animal is the kiwi.

Budjatton is ranked 266,589^th in the world and 1^st in Tereshkovia for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 697.45 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
