The Republic of A Busy Man is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 573 million Busy Manians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Healthcare, Welfare, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.7%.

The strong Busy Manian economy, worth 27.9 trillion francs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 48,711 francs, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 313,950 per year while the poor average 3,053, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. A Busy Man's national animal is the parrot, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

A Busy Man is ranked 253,249th in the world and 368th in Astoria for Safest, scoring 16.97 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
