Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Emirate of Bouti is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Joe Mama with a fair hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 2.128 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Boutishire. The average income tax rate is 76%, and even higher for the wealthy. A healthy private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down, eminent domain has been abolished, anti-government web sites are springing up, and the people are famous throughout the region for their bleached-white teeth. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bouti's national animal is the Panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Munny.

Bouti is ranked 49th in Furry Federation and 94,325th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
