The United Socialist States of Buzz Buzz is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Goddess Atalanta with an even hand, and renowned for its soft-spoken computers, ban on automobiles, and digital currency. The compassionate population of 8.61 billion Buzz Buzzians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pleione. The average income tax rate is 91.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Buzz Buzzian economy, worth a remarkable 1,133 trillion Canna Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 131,624 Canna Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Finders keepers is the law of the land, midwives must be skilled with the blade, restaurants cater to pregnancy cravings, and self-sufficiency is built on seizing foreign assets. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Buzz Buzz's national animal is the Buzzdorian Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Buzz Buzz is ranked 11,114th in the world and 41st in the Outback for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 6,612.59 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
