The Principality of Bud askins is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.969 billion Bud askinsians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 32.2%.

The strong Bud askinsian economy, worth 231 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,531 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Coffee-addicted citizens look forward to baristas getting their name wrong at local coffee shops, immigrants who don't like the taste of Bud askinsian Turnip Chips are immediately deported, schoolchildren learn basic numeracy by counting off their push-ups, and crop circles are intently studied by investigators with questionable merits. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bud askins's national animal is the Kitsune, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Bud askins is ranked 146,517^th in the world and 1^st in Fallout for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 32.16 Effective Tax Rate.
