The Republic of Buddhai is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, feral children, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 7.814 billion Buddhaians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Administration, although Industry and Law & Order are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy receive no funds. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Buddhaian economy, worth a remarkable 2,599 trillion currencies a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 332,678 currencies, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,015,634 per year while the poor average 4,304, a ratio of 700 to 1.

The word "sexagenarian" has taken on a whole new meaning, the nation's historic treasures have been sold off to Maxtopia's "Museum of Buddhaian Artifacts That They're Too Stupid to Appreciate", charity no longer begins at home, and the nation's politicians are acknowledged as the most polite in the region to the dismay of comedians everywhere. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Buddhai's national animal is the animal, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Buddhai is ranked 317,168^th in the world and 51^st in Vickenian experiment incubator for Safest, scoring 1.61 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
