The School Nation Turned Invader of Butt Bay is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The compassionate, devout population of 21.593 billion Butt Bayians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Cheesecake. The average income tax rate is 71.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Butt Bayian economy, worth a remarkable 1,553 trillion Beaver Butts a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 71,948 Beaver Butts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hordes of unemployed lumberjacks have resorted to cutting down utility poles to satisfy their cravings, teenagers claim that morning paper rounds are performance art, the majority of the country's traffic wardens have been sacked overnight, and immigrants who don't like the taste of Butt Bayian Turnip Chips are immediately deported. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Butt Bay's national animal is the Monkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Butt Bay is ranked 239,481st in the world and 24th in A Liberal Haven for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.39 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
