The Republic of Butterfly Cluster is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 7.004 billion Butterfly Clusterians 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 tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, with Healthcare, Welfare, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.9%.

The strong Butterfly Clusterian economy, worth 292 trillion yen a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 41,832 yen, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 269,611 per year while the poor average 2,622, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Butterfly Cluster's national animal is the raven, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.
