The Democratic Republic of Bon Goby is a colossal, pleasant nation, ruled by Dave with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.945 billion Bon Gobyians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Administration, with Law & Order, Defense, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ostwick. The average income tax rate is 30.2%.

The Bon Gobyian economy, worth 192 trillion bitcoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 48,853 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

The thin blue line is composed of picketing police officers demanding better pensions, thieves are flogged in public for their crimes, traffic tickets are punishable by 9000 push-ups, and armed security details escort librarians to their homes. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bon Goby's national animal is the turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Blimzoro.

Bon Goby is ranked 114,273rd in the world and 97th in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 708.73 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
