The Democratic State of Buckerino is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Christopher Bucky Marcopus with a fair hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 3.312 billion Buckerinorians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marsupia. The average income tax rate is 93.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Buckerinorian economy, worth 629 trillion Regals a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 190,095 Regals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, the internet has been placed under government control, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and a firework a day does not in fact keep the doctor away. Crime is totally unknown. Buckerino's national animal is the Kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Buckerino is ranked 17,255^th in the world and 825^th in The North Pacific for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 77.49 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
