The Armed Republic of Bureaucraticia is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 593 million Bureaucraticians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.1%.

The very strong Bureaucratician economy, worth 35.3 trillion dimes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 59,473 dimes, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 250,236 per year while the poor average 9,172, a ratio of 27.3 to 1.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and military spending recently hit a new high. Crime is a problem. Bureaucraticia's national animal is the concrete walls, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Bureaucraticia is ranked 248,189th in the world and 335th in The UMNS for Nudest, with 72 cheeks per square mile.
