The Kingdom of Bushon is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and absence of drug laws. The cynical population of 328 million Bushonites 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 relatively small, liberal, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 9.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Bushonite economy, worth 17.5 trillion Lire a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 53,492 Lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Teenagers sit around on their butts all day, the roads are notorious throughout the region for their peril, police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, and advertisers scramble to sponsor the broadcast of Leader's most personal functions. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Bushon's national animal is the Serpent, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Bushon is ranked 253,479^th in the world and 170^th in Hell for Lowest Crime Rates, with 51.81 law-abiding acts per hour.
