The Holy Republic of Busto arsizio2 is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Ribo with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.329 billion Busto arsizio2ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ribopolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 93.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Busto arsizio2ian economy, worth 850 trillion Loras a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 196,475 Loras, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists are researching the best way to kill off humanity to prevent catastrophic war, praying before a battle is a court-martial offence, student athletes gaze forlornly at abandoned Carpio volanteball fields, and search and rescue forces now accept cheques and all major credit cards. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Busto arsizio2's national animal is the Carpio volante, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cristianesimo.

Busto arsizio2 is ranked 14,677^th in the world and 437^th in The East Pacific for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 3,951.21 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
