The Free Territory of Bueroland is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Head Council with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, keen interest in outer space, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.809 billion Buers enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Slimburg. The average income tax rate is 92.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Buerish economy, worth 481 trillion Units a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 126,487 Units, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government negotiators never forget to say "pretty please" when begging for custody of its criminals, The Head Council's power is effectively nullified as no bill becomes law without the upper house's support, prison is a nightmare, and the well-to-do in Europe are never on time for important appointments. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bueroland's national animal is the catdog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bueroland is ranked 288,694^th in the world and 1,436^th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -20.22 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
