The In-Between Land of Bugnarak is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Jeramie Brasieri with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 5.603 billion Bugnarakians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 82.1%.

The thriving Bugnarakian economy, worth 538 trillion Golds 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, 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 96,172 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls, grannies get pulled over for knitting pullovers while driving, most people suffer from some form of hearing loss, and officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bugnarak's national animal is the Spider, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bugnarak is ranked 14,996^th in the world and 1^st in Grand Avalon for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,084.45 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
