The Queendom of Buzzonia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, zero percent divorce rate, and state-planned economy. The devout population of 618 million Buzzonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nectaris. The average income tax rate is 80.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Buzzonian economy, worth 6.43 trillion Pollens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 10,404 Pollens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Holy Office of the Inquisition is the highest court in the land, citizens are yearning to leave Buzzonia for the countries it sends aid to, virtually all of the country's economic activity takes place in Nectaris, and birth rates have hit an all-time low. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Buzzonia's national animal is the Bee, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Buzzonia is ranked 329,588th in the world and 1,632nd in the Outback for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring zero on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
