The Holy of Buyenin is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Santa Claus with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.502 billion Buyninians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrassil. The average income tax rate is 30.3%.

The Buyeninian economy, worth 146 trillion candy cans a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 58,744 candy cans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Returning vacationers often find that their property is now a construction site, old warplanes and tanks that break down can't be repaired since no one makes the parts anymore, heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste, and the church declares that everyone should get a large serving of nuts daily. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Buyenin's national animal is the bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Athyism.

Buyenin is ranked 176,684^th in the world and 47^th in Nudist Dreamland for Most Developed, scoring 53.79 on the Human Development Index.
