The Republic of Buluma is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Praeses with a fair hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.837 billion Bulumen enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 66.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Buluman economy, worth 136 trillion deniers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 74,289 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, politicians that report exaggerated crowd sizes for their speeches are dismissed for being delusional, devotion to God is only skin-deep, and foreigners must sell an arm and a leg to afford surgery in Buluma. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Buluma's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Buluma is ranked 268,397^th in the world and 5,804^th in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 0.85 flags saluted per person per day.
