The Constitutional Monarchy of Bullye is a small, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, avant-garde cinema, and compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic population of 26 million Bullyeans 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 16.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Bullyean economy, worth 1.69 trillion diddies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 64,872 diddies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Bronze and marble supplies are running low as sculptors depict full-figured subjects, no one believes anything until it has been strenuously tested and peer-reviewed, third world countries are rich in "I Love Bullye City" t-shirts, and former stunt pilots are unable to pass the licence test to fly a drone. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bullye's national animal is the peacock, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Bullye is ranked 62,291^st in the world and 738^th in the West Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 70 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
