The Republic of Buckerino is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Christopher Bucky Marcopus with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 11.973 billion Buckerinorians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marsupia. The average income tax rate is 96.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Buckerinorian economy, worth a remarkable 2,295 trillion Regals a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 191,707 Regals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People with political aspirations study how to make balloon animals, feeling like a winner comes at a price, Buckerinorian novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Christopher Bucky Marcopus, and citizens know never to accept cookies from strangers. Crime is totally unknown. Buckerino's national animal is the Kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Buckerino is ranked 264,069^th in the world and 11,465^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -20.62 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
