The Municipality of Bustos is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 4.332 billion Bustosians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 14.7%.

The Bustosian economy, worth 164 trillion pesos a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 37,979 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Surveillance cameras are banned, even the most lowly council pen-pusher has the same political power as a senior minister, Mr Happy's Funland has just been named Bustos's new capital, and dessert dishes make up the Bustosian breakfast menu. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Bustos's national animal is the tiger, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Bustos is ranked 234,405^th in the world and 8^th in Bulacan for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -3.13 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
