The Federation of Bingbongland is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its frequent executions, hatred of cheese, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 727 million Bongiets are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of bingbongia. The average income tax rate is 68.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The thriving Bingbongiet economy, worth 69.0 trillion bingbongians 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, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. 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 94,966 bingbongians, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Politicians take citizens for idiots, recapturing giraffes is proving to be a tall order, the government is well known for declaring war on other countries for suspected slights, and airplanes have giant grilles on their noses to knock drones out of their path. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bingbongland's national animal is the sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Bingbongland is ranked 241,393rd in the world and 11,128th in the South Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 12.15 quips per hour.
