The Republic of Airbud6 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by HappyFace with an even hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles, remarkably easy parental licensing program, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 2.967 billion Airbud6ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Croswell. The average income tax rate is 49.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Airbud6ian economy, worth 594 trillion rupleses a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 200,437 rupleses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Burial ceremonies have become as routinised as tax forms, orthopaedics patients often have a bounce in their step, it is a common belief that a sport isn't sport if there are no decapitations, and citizens cannot change their light bulbs without approval from an international committee. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Airbud6's national animal is the great dane, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is HappyFace Time.

Airbud6 is ranked 71,050^th in the world and 7^th in The Brotherhood of Malice for Most Developed, scoring 70.27 on the Human Development Index.
