The West Bengal of American Generations is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, vat-grown people, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 4.7 billion Bengalis 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kolkata. The average income tax rate is 91.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Bengali economy, worth a remarkable 1,151 trillion Takas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 244,972 Takas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

The new national mascot has to be wheeled onto the field of play, peace talks occasionally rack up a higher body count than the wars they seek to stop, fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding", and teenagers performing appendectomies on their friends has become a popular schoolyard prank. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. American Generations's national animal is the Royal Bengal Tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Hinduism.

American Generations is ranked 5,630^th in the world and 23^rd in the Plains of Perdition for Most Cultured, scoring 149 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
