The Democratic People's Republic of Bongo Nation is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Chairperson Tofu with an iron fist, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 19.28 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, with Environment, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pyongjing. The average income tax rate is 92.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Communist economy, worth a remarkable 3,678 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 190,772 Yuanns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, welfare funding has recently gone through the roof, laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, and it turns out that you actually can put a price on intangible cultural heritage. 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 1,314th in the world and 37th in the Rejected Realms for Most Beautiful Environments, with 4,522.74 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
