The Empire of Bingellia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Kaiser von Hohenfriedberg with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 20.603 billion Bingellians 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eisenhall. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Bingellian economy, worth a remarkable 3,499 trillion Doshes a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 169,835 Doshes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Attempts to inform people about their unclaimed property are often mistaken for telephone scams, trails to natural wonders are littered with trash from reality film crews, transgender and agender are on the education agenda, and Bingellians believe manners maketh the leader. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bingellia's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Wobberianism.

Bingellia is ranked 13,142^nd in the world and 1^st in The Nuggets for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 354.11 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
