The Republic of Buyers United is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, frequent executions, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 8.101 billion Buyers Unitedians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Environment and Education not funded at all. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Buyers Unitedian economy, worth a remarkable 2,749 trillion currencies a year, is fairly diversified and mostly made up of the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 339,377 currencies, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,649,227 per year while the poor average 40,335, a ratio of 40.9 to 1.

It's best not to ask what goes into Buyers United City Crispy Fried Tofu's secret blend of herbs and spices, they unpaved paradise and tore up a parking lot (ooh, bop bop bop), couch potatoes are considered to be model citizens, and computer users are buried daily in thousands of unsolicited emails. Crime is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Buyers United's national animal is the animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Buyers United is ranked 345,987th in the world and 9th in Vickenian experiment containment zone for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -28 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
