The Republic of Buewye is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Judocus Makana with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, ritual sacrifices, and lack of airports. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 16.73 billion Buewyeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sawanga. The average income tax rate is 91.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Buewyean economy, worth a remarkable 1,911 trillion Sliding Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 114,242 Sliding Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The number of judges has tripled in recent months, the consent form for routine blood pressure measurement has been nominated for the 'Novel Of The Year' award, it's always rabbit season, and the banshee wail foretells skies of death. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Buewye's national animal is the White Ibis, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Nalani.

Buewye is ranked 234,277^th in the world and 5^th in The Slide Countries for Most Conservative, scoring 44.25 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
