The Free Land of Buntergue is a colossal, genial nation, remarkable for its national health service, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.943 billion Buns are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bunburrow. The average income tax rate is 93.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bun economy, worth 715 trillion 🥕krots a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 144,735 🥕krots, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is illegal for a parent to tell a child to stop eating their boogers, no one questions why the chicken crossed the road anymore, the slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework, and unemployed accountants keep double-entry ledgers of their benefit claims. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Buntergue's national animal is the Rabbit, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Buntergue is ranked 311,855^th in the world and 435^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -10.2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
