The Federation of Bugworld Prime is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, democratic population of 513 million Prime Bugs are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Little Pluto. The average income tax rate is 72.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Buggish Prime economy, worth 33.7 trillion trade credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 65,712 trade credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Advertisers are struggling to make water sound cool to a twitchy public, Maxtopian villagers starve by the time Buggish Prime officials even file the appropriate paperwork needed to help them, professional athletes can't see balls amid the deluge of advertisements, and hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bugworld Prime's national animal is the glass frog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bugworld Prime is ranked 111,555^th in the world and 4^th in Low Earth Orbit for Highest Average Incomes, with 65,712.23 Standard Monetary Units.
