The Republic of Buewye is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Judocus Makana with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ban on automobiles, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 20.272 billion Buewyeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Environment, with Administration, Healthcare, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Defense isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sawanga. The average income tax rate is 90.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Buewyean economy, worth a remarkable 2,363 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, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 116,591 Sliding Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Beloved cartoon icon Mikkey White Ibis writhes after eating Sliding Dollars, emperors are sacrificed to Violet to save on postage, people are left scratching their heads at the government's decisions, and fat-shaming is now public policy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Buewye's national animal is the White Ibis, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Nalani.

Buewye is ranked 263,567th in the world and 10th in The Slide Countries for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -6.01 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
