The Republic of Buluma is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Praeses with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.862 billion Bulumen enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 66.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Buluman economy, worth 138 trillion deniers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 74,289 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, politicians that report exaggerated crowd sizes for their speeches are dismissed for being delusional, devotion to God is only skin-deep, and foreigners must sell an arm and a leg to afford surgery in Buluma. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Buluma's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Buluma is ranked 118,586^th in the world and 3,098^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 77.91 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
