The Divided Nation of Bengoslavia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by The Provisional Council with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5.062 billion Bengoslavians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Turmine Castle. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.9%.

The powerhouse Bengoslavian economy, worth 456 trillion Marks a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Gambling. Average income is 90,089 Marks, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 472,981 per year while the poor average 9,176, a ratio of 51.5 to 1.

Wildlife near farms is slowly becoming extinct, cheese lovers have a case of the bleus, polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, and powerful x-ray machines used by the Customs Department can see into the homes of nearby residents. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Bengoslavia's national animal is the White Hawk, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Orthodox.

Bengoslavia is ranked 63,302^nd in the world and 9^th in Pax Terrae for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 119.72 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
