Buisland is a fictional tropical island used in geographic writing to illustrate island geography. In this fictional setting, it lies in a small archipelago in the western Pacific Ocean and is administered by a hypothetical national government.

Geography and environment: The island covers several square kilometers and features a low, rounded profile with sandy beaches and a central forested interior. A fringing coral reef surrounds the island, with mangroves along much of the shoreline. The highest point is described as a modest hill, Bui Peak, about 120 meters.

Climate: The island has a tropical maritime climate with warm temperatures year-round and a pronounced wet season.

Population and economy: The fictional population numbers a few hundred residents, concentrated in a single village and a small harbor. The economy centers on fishing, coconuts, and small-scale tourism linked to reefs and nature trails.

Governance and infrastructure: In the fictional setting, Buisland is part of a district within the archipelago's government, with a local council and a small public school, a clinic, and a port. Transport is via ferry or boat, with limited air access via a small airstrip.

Ecology and conservation: Coral reefs and mangroves support diverse marine life and birds. Some areas are designated as a marine or nature reserve to protect habitats and endemic species. Threats include coastal erosion, overfishing, and invasive species.

Notable features: Notable features include Bui Reef and Bui Peak, and several sandy bays popular with visitors in the fictional setting.
