The Republic of Congle is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, daily referendums, and smutty television. The compassionate, hard-working population of 6.827 billion Congleans 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 juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 46.2%.

The all-consuming Conglean economy, worth 595 trillion coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 87,195 coins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 249,645 per year while the poor average 24,245, a ratio of 10.3 to 1.

Unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, government buildings are being cleansed of anything that might have racist connotations, 4-year-olds are often found reminiscing about the 'good old days', and evenings at university debating societies often end with everyone acknowledging both sides may well be right. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Congle's national animal is the monster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Congle is ranked 37,404^th in the world and 47^th in Giovanniland for Highest Food Quality, scoring 45.34 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
