The State of Bingham Park is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 30.723 billion Bingham Parkians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. The average income tax rate is 6.4%.

The powerhouse Bingham Parkian economy, worth a remarkable 1,354 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 44,102 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Surveillance cameras are banned, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, voting is voluntary, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Bingham Park's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bingham Park is ranked 135,656^th in the world and 1^st in Billings for Nicest Citizens, with 12 average smiles per day.
