The Best Nation of Bonkbonk is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by God-Emperor Sklue Goefoe Fingledang with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.713 billion bonkbonkians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Administration, Industry, and Law & Order are also considered important, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Phlembelch. The average income tax rate is 82.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient bonkbonkian economy, worth 706 trillion schnuckles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 190,355 schnuckles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children have nightmares about the eerie red glow and constant whirring of newly-installed machines, medical staff can legally quiet people who ask for a second helping of Salisbury steak, cutting-edge missile systems are being retrofitted to twin-prop air force biplanes, and dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bonkbonk's national animal is the great bonkbonkian explosive worm and its national religion is Skluethleck.

Bonkbonk is ranked 35,276^th in the world and 91^st in The League for Lowest Crime Rates, with 79.85 law-abiding acts per hour.
