The State of Budokani is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its complete lack of public education, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 27.267 billion Budokanians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The powerhouse Budokanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,440 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 52,832 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 187,008 per year while the poor average 10,776, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, Budokani's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, and Budokani has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Budokani's national animal is the deer.

Budokani is ranked 261,181^st in the world and 4^th in Dodoma for Safest, scoring 15.52 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
