The Empire of Da Congas is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by The Great and Mighty Devan with an iron fist, and remarkable for its flagrant waste-dumping, anti-smoking policies, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.622 billion Conga Lines are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Capital City. The average income tax rate is 74.4%.

The frighteningly efficient a Da Congain economy, worth a remarkable 2,079 trillion Congers a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 241,183 Congers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication, counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, the rainbow assortment of chemicals in the water has turned the frogs gay, and politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Da Congas's national animal is the Tree Octopus, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Bow Down Before Me.

Da Congas is ranked 5,069th in the world and 70th in the Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 224.3 kickbacks per hour.
