The Snarky Solar Observer of Bhang Bhang Duc is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Salvor Hardin with an even hand, and remarkable for its conspicuous electricity pylons, unlimited-speed roads, and smutty television. The compassionate, humorless population of 39.665 billion Lovecraftians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous, corrupt government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Administration, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Four Ecks. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Bhang Bhang Ducian economy, worth a remarkable 7,064 trillion Zevons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 178,113 Zevons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government mails weekly updates on the new anti-junk mail laws to every citizen, Slarks have more rights than the average citizen, there is a growing belief that mothers love their children more than fathers, and white strait-jackets are the new orange jumpsuits. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bhang Bhang Duc's national animal is the Slark, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Drinking Brains SA.

Bhang Bhang Duc is ranked 964^th in the world and 10^th in the West Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 5,503.61 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
