The Memorial of Remember Bucha is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Chairman Vasily Gerasimov with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, digital currency, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.217 billion Buchans 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bucha. The average income tax rate is 29.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Remember Buchan economy, worth 328 trillion rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, Information Technology, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 102,179 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Chairman Vasily Gerasimov is considering changing the Remember Buchan flag to one with more glitter, teach an angler how to phish and he can make a living, the thrash metal version of the national anthem is topping charts, and people accuse the government of being in bed with Big Safety. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Remember Bucha's national animal is the bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Church of the Spaghetti Monster.

Remember Bucha is ranked 262,384th in the world and 22nd in Shadowport for Most Cultured, scoring 61 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
