The Democratic People's Republic of Bongo Nation is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Chairperson Tofu with an iron fist, and renowned for its soft-spoken computers, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 19.099 billion Bongo Citizens 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 medium-sized, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pyongjing. The average income tax rate is 92.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Communist economy, worth a remarkable 3,631 trillion Yuanns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 190,118 Yuanns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Acrimonious legal battles result during divorce proceedings, it's harder to qualify for IVF than for a good university, government employees are authorized driver's licenses to get their bosses much-needed morning espressos, and third world countries are rich in "I Love Pyongjing" t-shirts. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bongo Nation's national animal is the Bourgeoisie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bongo Nation is ranked 12,595th in the world and 158th in the Rejected Realms for Most Stationary, with 1,985.5530000786 days.
