The Federal Republic of The Buckeye States is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Nickolaus von Böhm with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.023 billion Buckeye Staters hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Colombus. The average income tax rate is 86.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Buckeye Statesian economy, worth 265 trillion Buckeye Dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 131,025 Buckeye Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Group hugs break out during floor votes, hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have, sharks are enjoying their deliveries of canned food, and movement-triggered sensors mean that for every door that closes another one opens. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Buckeye States's national animal is the Cardinal, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Thicc Boism.

The Buckeye States is ranked 9,055^th in the world and 216^th in The East Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 55.21 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
