The Bungandidj people of Buandig is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Bungandidj people with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.475 billion Bungandidj people are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Boandik. The average income tax rate is 70.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bungandidj economy, worth a remarkable 3,227 trillion Boorte wsereoos a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 258,703 Boorte wsereoos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Videogames like 'Equalia: Knights of Self-Confidence' are proving inexplicably unpopular, six-year-old children playing dress-up are viewed with suspicion, Catherine Gratwick's campaign support is considered seminal, and the education system is being cleansed of all corporate influence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Buandig's national animal is the Boorte willer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Australian Aboriginal mythology.

Buandig is ranked 4,220th in the world and 24th in Nerdlandia for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 12,653.36 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
