The Commonwealth of Buttcrackia is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its avant-garde cinema, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 550 million Buttcrackians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Das HappyFunLand. The average income tax rate is 79.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Buttcrackian economy, worth 39.7 trillion thongs 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 led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 72,248 thongs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", the government has instituted 'traveller reservations' across the country, diplomatic missions typically end with a flurry of childish insults, accusations and phlegm, and ship captains always order a return to port at the slightest sign of rain. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Buttcrackia's national animal is the Wolf Spider, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Buttcrackia is ranked 98,287^th in the world and 56^th in Edoca for Highest Average Incomes, with 72,248.37 Standard Monetary Units.
