The United Socialist States of Buzz Buzz is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Goddess Atalanta with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and digital currency. The compassionate population of 8.436 billion Buzz Buzzians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pleione. The average income tax rate is 91.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Buzz Buzzian economy, worth a remarkable 1,105 trillion Canna Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 131,022 Canna Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Diplomatic missions typically end with a flurry of childish insults, accusations and phlegm, snooze factory is now prison lingo for rehabilitation center, citizens praise the weeds that overwhelm their narrow vegetable realm, and solving crossword puzzles requires fluency in at least five languages. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Buzz Buzz's national animal is the Buzzdorian Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Buzz Buzz is ranked 16,755th in the world and 66th in the Outback for Most Cultured, scoring 93 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
