The Socialist Republic of Bingus Isles is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Mr Smack with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.659 billion Bingons enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Furness. The average income tax rate is 39.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Bingus Islesian economy, worth 135 trillion Incontinentias 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 Tourism, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 81,719 Incontinentias, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Passengers often cause a stink on public transport, popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, government officials go door-to-door educating about the dangers of pseudoscience, and rumor has it that Mr Smack has won three lotteries in a row. Crime is totally unknown. Bingus Isles's national animal is the Sphynx Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Bingusism.

Bingus Isles is ranked 82,820^th in the world and 4,418^th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 68.12 law-abiding acts per hour.
