The Democratic State of Buckerino is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Christopher Bucky Marcopus with a fair hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 4.574 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 94.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Buckerinorian economy, worth 878 trillion Regals a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 192,036 Regals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The government is hoping that medical aid will speak louder than human rights abuses, having skeletons in one's closet is no longer just a macabre idiom, construction workers evacuate work sites after finding sharp rocks on the ground, and mechanics are often exhausted by their work. Crime is totally unknown. Buckerino's national animal is the Kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Buckerino is ranked 46,834^th in the world and 2,435^th in The North Pacific for Most Income Equality, scoring 49.93 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
