The Aboriginal Flag Collector of BuccaRuu is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Bucca's CEO with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, otherworldly petting zoo, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 28.62 billion buccarians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Fort Ruu. The average income tax rate is 97.9%.

The frighteningly efficient buccarian economy, worth an astonishing 17,509 trillion bucca dollhas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 611,779 bucca dollhas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People make a career out of medical voyeurism, anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, stranded astronauts hitch rides on foreign spacecraft to get home, and sermons are regularly interrupted by businessmen taking phone calls. Crime is totally unknown. BuccaRuu's national animal is the pink dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

BuccaRuu is ranked 577th in the world and 2nd in The Versutian Federation for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 29,109.47 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
