The Grand Powerful Kingdom of Bengal Empir is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Hadam Hirihitan with an even hand, and remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed population of 4.256 billion Bengalians 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 large, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bengalore. The average income tax rate is 48.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Bengal Empirian economy, worth 326 trillion Bongs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 76,694 Bongs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

In musicals everybody's a little bit racist, no suburban lawn is complete without barbed wire and landmines, the practice of capital punishment proves divisive, and children are often punished for the sins of the fathers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bengal Empir's national animal is the Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Sikkh Islam.

Bengal Empir is ranked 149,803^rd in the world and 7,880^th in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 49.4 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
