The Republic of Buewye is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Judocus Makana with an even hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, strictly enforced bedtime, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 14.968 billion Buewyeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sawanga. The average income tax rate is 90.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Buewyean economy, worth a remarkable 1,676 trillion Sliding Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 112,022 Sliding Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Drug lords often avoid prison time by teaching "chemistry" classes to underprivileged youth, garishly-decorated government buildings are being hailed as the height of 'religious nouveau', it is firmly believed that cameras steal souls, and getting an abortion takes less hassle than writing a letter. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Buewye's national animal is the White Ibis, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Nalani.

Buewye is ranked 6,722nd in the world and 2nd in The Slide Countries for Most Cultured, scoring 143 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
