The Kingdom of Butuni is a small, safe nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 40 million Butonians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 72.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but underdeveloped Butani economy, worth 1.26 trillion Tunis 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 led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 31,420 Tunis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Young and brooding teens are welcomed with open arms to the Dogwarts School of Strangeness and Sorcery, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, a girl's success in life is often linked to her performance in beauty pageants, and snap elections are called over every minor impasse. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Butuni's national animal is the Raven.
Butuni is ranked 202,973rd in the world and 983rd in Europeia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 38.34 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
