The Regency of Bangeli is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Sang Nyoman Sedana Arta with an iron fist, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, free-roaming dinosaurs, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 9.086 billion Banglians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bangli. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Bangli economy, worth a remarkable 1,670 trillion Rupiahs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 183,854 Rupiahs, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,669,800 per year while the poor average 2,335, a ratio of 714 to 1.

Twins move across the country to avoid being accused of the other's crimes, it's best to decline if Sang Nyoman Sedana Arta offers to buy a round of drinks, almost all of the nation's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices, and museum employees look down on short people. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Bangeli's national animal is the Bali Myna, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Hindu Bali.

Bangeli is ranked 2,469th in the world and 21st in Sulawesi for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 13,056.43 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
