The Republic of Buckham is a massive, safe nation, notable for its burgeoning bison population. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 2.769 billion Buckhamians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.3%.

The strong Buckhamian economy, worth 180 trillion marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 65,279 marks, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is almost non-existent. Buckham's national animal is the bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Buckham is ranked 144,297^th in the world and 7,076^th in Lazarus for Highest Poor Incomes, with 23,708.3 Standard Monetary Units.
