The Dictatorship of Butanes is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Pentanes with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, prohibition of alcohol, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.123 billion Butanesians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Butanes City. The average income tax rate is 67.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Butanesian economy, worth 283 trillion bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 90,854 bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, homeowners are evicted to make way for new runways, Jack Russells have proven to be terrible spies, and Butanesians incessantly needle their doctors for relief. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Butanes's national animal is the Human, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Chemistry.

Butanes is ranked 42,011^th in the world and 242^nd in the South Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 26.3 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
