The Republic of Bucha 10 is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its ritual sacrifices and ban on automobiles. The quiet, industrious population of 7 million Bucha 10ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 26.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Bucha 10ian economy, worth 255 billion deniers a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,418 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

High school bands practice by moonlight, all-natural foods are becoming a major fad, sniffer dogs are trained to follow clouds of fruity-smelling vapor, and the best way to get the government to U-turn is to squick out Leader. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bucha 10's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bucha 10 is ranked 169,344^th in the world and 4^th in Bucharestia for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 1,051.56 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
