The Bayou Bengals of Gumbo and Jambalaya is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Brian Kelly with an iron fist, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, zero percent divorce rate, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.273 billion Bayou Bengals 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Death Valley. The average income tax rate is 29.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient LSU economy, worth a remarkable 1,230 trillion greybacks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 169,252 greybacks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

City workers have declared that rolling markets aren't good for business after all, the education system is being cleansed of all corporate influence, government-funded marriage counseling is showing very limited success, and children often explain to their parents that the Mega Ultimate Sword Fist was worth the thousand-greyback charge on their phone bill. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Gumbo and Jambalaya's national animal is the honey badger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Gumbo and Jambalaya is ranked 275,097^th in the world and 7^th in Bourbon Pecan Pie for Safest, scoring 7.55 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
