The Not-So-Daily of The Bugle is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.015 billion Bugleans are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The tiny, moralistic, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Healthcare, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.4%.

The thriving Buglean economy, worth 138 trillion pesos a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Pizza Delivery, and Information Technology. Average income is 68,860 pesos, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 229,191 per year while the poor average 15,416, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Bugle's national animal is the crocodile, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

The Bugle is ranked 41,909^th in the world and 659^th in Artificial Solar System for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,146.46 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
