The Republic of Bucha 3 is a tiny, safe nation, notable for its suspicion of poets. The hard-working population of 8 million Bucha 3ians 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 22.6%.

The Bucha 3ian economy, worth 337 billion guilders a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 42,123 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Sniffer dogs are trained to follow clouds of fruity-smelling vapor, all statues and paintings of dogs are being destroyed to avoid offending cat-lovers, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, and the government raises tariffs on a weekly basis. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force. Bucha 3's national animal is the sheep.

Bucha 3 is ranked 278,771^st in the world and 11^th in Bucharestia for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 598.72 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
