The Nomadic Peoples of Donutbuzz is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.275 billion are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Social Equality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 51%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail industries.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, drunk drivers are sentenced to death, the military has quashed a recent coup attempt, and the study of medicine is popular throughout Donutbuzz. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is pervasive, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Donutbuzz's national animal is the ziktepel, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the puggle.

Donutbuzz is ranked 1st in the region and 58,933rd in the world for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry.
