Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Free Land of The Glorious Bimbolia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Foghorn Jay Leghorn with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 1.055 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, liberal, pro-business individuals juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Defence, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Chicken House. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Tourism and Book Publishing.

'Anarchy in The Glorious Bimbolia!' is a popular TV program in foreign countries, airship use has soared while property values beneath their routes have plummeted, citizens are frequently held up at gunpoint by their local pizza delivery boys, and new urban roads are threatening city parks. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling. The Glorious Bimbolia's national animal is the Chicken, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Egg.

The Glorious Bimbolia is ranked 79th in Capitalist Paradise and 4,588th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring 16 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
