The Planet of Bondra is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, frequent executions, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.338 billion Bondrans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 60.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Bondran economy, worth 244 trillion Imperial Dollars 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, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. 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 104,432 Imperial Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 388,140 per year while the poor average 19,743, a ratio of 19.7 to 1.

Sick Bondrans are hair today and gone tomorrow, it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, many marriages go virtually unconsummated, and dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bondra's national animal is the Kabasan Poverty Hound, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Bondra is ranked 269,586^th in the world and 15^th in Firmament for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -6.86 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
