The Armed Republic of Buzzsaw is a colossal, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning kangaroo population. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.734 billion Buzzsawians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 23.8%.

The Buzzsawian economy, worth 150 trillion bitcoins a year, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Gambling, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 40,431 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, surveillance cameras are banned, seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma, and hidden bedroom-cams are installed to catch mothers doing their kids' homework. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Buzzsaw's national animal is the kangaroo.

Buzzsaw is ranked 193,999^th in the world and 1^st in Ardenia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 304.58 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
