The Republic of Buewye is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Judocus Makana with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 15.171 billion Buewyeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sawanga. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Buewyean economy, worth a remarkable 1,714 trillion Sliding Dollars 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 mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 112,987 Sliding Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There is a growing belief that mothers love their children more than fathers, noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, the question of 'what is Judocus Makana's favorite color?' has been given a priority rating of burnt-orange, and national chefs believe that you can eat anything so long as you deep fry it first. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Buewye's national animal is the White Ibis, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Nalani.

Buewye is ranked 74,383rd in the world and 5th in The Slide Countries for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 4,308.09 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
