The State of Buffalo Gap is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 43.442 billion Buffalo Gapians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.4%.

The thriving Buffalo Gapian economy, worth a remarkable 1,744 trillion betales a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 40,153 betales, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 198,984 per year while the poor average 4,594, a ratio of 43.3 to 1.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the government is reigning in public spending, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and Buffalo Gap is notorious for its citizens' infidelity. Crime is a serious problem. Buffalo Gap's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Buffalo Gap is ranked 118,298^th in the world and 1^st in Buffalo Gap for Most Developed, scoring 58.39 on the Human Development Index.
