The Union of Bunkovia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Comrade Stalbun with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, unlimited-speed roads, and smutty television. The compassionate, cheerful population of 8.711 billion Buns 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 Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mosbun. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Bun economy, worth a remarkable 2,444 trillion Labun Vouchers 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 significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 280,574 Labun Vouchers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure, multiple polls have christened the newly-formed Filibuster Committee as "the least efficient government bureaucracy", the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, and glamping Buns won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bunkovia's national animal is the Bunbun, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bunkovia is ranked 335,914th in the world and 89th in The Internationale for Most Pacifist, with 3.27 cheeks turned per day.
