The Federal Republic of New Buckner is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by People's Champion Heite with an even hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, compulsory military service, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 20.181 billion New Bucknerians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Buckner City. The average income tax rate is 84.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Bucknerian economy, worth a remarkable 2,666 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 132,129 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes, attempted suicide is punishable by public hanging, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, and couples kissing on the street are detained for 'unlawful exchange of genetic material'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Buckner's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is New Catholism.

New Buckner is ranked 252,969th in the world and 8,178th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 18.25816887032 days.
