The Queendom of Congawanga is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Queen Addi with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.997 billion Congawangans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Addisonia City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.7%.

The all-consuming Congawangan economy, worth 461 trillion congees a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 154,038 congees, with the richest citizens earning 8.2 times as much as the poorest.

The morbidly obese often sell stock options on their own corpses, the media seems excessively interested in what Queen Addi is wearing this season, this year's hottest fashion trend is the Lese Majeste collection, and Congawanga recently hosted the least successful trade negotiations since The Phantom Menace. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Congawanga's national animal is the Ivy, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Addism.

Congawanga is ranked 23,443rd in the world and 1,682nd in Lazarus for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 255.97 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
