The Republic of Bucha 2 is a tiny, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The quiet, industrious population of 9 million Bucha 2ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 21.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Bucha 2ian economy, worth 342 billion lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 37,953 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, the government is reining in public spending, reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians, and weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bucha 2's national animal is the leopard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Bucha 2 is ranked 275,339^th in the world and 10^th in Bucharestia for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 625.11 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
