The Card Collector of Bingo is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Bingo with an even hand, and renowned for its aversion to nipples, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 1.799 billion Bingoans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, corrupt government prioritizes Administration, with Healthcare, Industry, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. The average income tax rate is 73.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Bingoan economy, worth 154 trillion Oranges a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Retail, Soda Sales, Furniture Restoration, and Pizza Delivery. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 85,905 Oranges, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tours to see the 'wild men of the mountains' are popular with tourists from the big cities, the government is dead set on letting people rest in peace, the government is cutting back on the number of political prisoners executed each year, and taxi drivers seem less xenophobic these days. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Bingo's national animal is the Eastern box turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Bingo is ranked 5,556th in the world and 2nd in Bingos Puppet Sanctuary for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 4,064.91 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
