The Republic of Bucollai is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Mé Jân with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 7.952 billion Bucollians 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, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Taechu City. The average income tax rate is 52.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bucollian economy, worth a remarkable 1,008 trillion Gaons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 126,823 Gaons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Maps of the enemy's positions are often covered in blood, it's not only teenagers who mess around with fake IDs, it's been a banner year for local vexillology, and rare steaks seem even bluer now. Crime is totally unknown. Bucollai's national animal is the hawk, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Bucollai is ranked 42,872nd in the world and 2,134th in Osiris for Safest, scoring 104.97 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
