The Incorporated States of Bongo Johnson is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Ragnar Smithson with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 20.617 billion Bongonians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Murbley. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Incorporated economy, worth a remarkable 2,561 trillion wongas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 124,235 wongas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bongo Johnson's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, foreign 'investors' have been taking a great interest in the new secret shuttle, and children's TV shows are having a gay old time. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bongo Johnson's national animal is the kitten, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bongo Johnson is ranked 12,541st in the world and 8th in Esportiva for Lowest Crime Rates, with 97.11 law-abiding acts per hour.
