The Republic of Cico Buff is a huge, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning panther population. The hard-working population of 824 million Cico Buffians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 17.1%.

The Cico Buffian economy, worth 37.5 trillion francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 45,543 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cico Buff's national animal is the panther, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Cico Buff is ranked 250,920^th in the world and 1^st in Arabic for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -4.9 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
