Holy Bingle

The Republic of Holy Bingle is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, lack of airports, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 422 million Binglians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 81.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Holy Binglean economy, worth 29.0 trillion furbies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is 68,828 furbies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

When electric cars arrived nobody heard them coming, group hugs break out during floor votes, public intoxication has decreased ever since fraternities were banned, and foreign policy is to avoid standing up to bullies. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Holy Bingle's national animal is the Bingle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Holy Bingle is ranked 54,882nd in the world and 133rd in Refugia for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,588.04 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
