The Democratic Republic of Buckie is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.362 billion Buckieans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 97.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Buckiean economy, worth 648 trillion Bucks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 148,780 Bucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The overhead luggage compartment is often full, consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, the government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly, and the amount welfare recipients spend on fertilizer has exploded. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Buckie's national animal is the Stag, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Buckie is ranked 7,394^th in the world and 128^th in Europe for Highest Poor Incomes, with 139,404.29 Standard Monetary Units.
