The Animals' Republic of King Bongo the Second is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Bongo the Second with a fair hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, hatred of cheese, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 7.099 billion Primates are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken morass — prioritizes Education, although Environment, Administration, and Welfare are also considered important, while Defense receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of State of Coconut City. The average income tax rate is 98.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Primate economy, worth a remarkable 1,070 trillion bananas 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 150,840 bananas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, the nation honors the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Primate weed picker, town nameplates frequently raise giggles from passing tourists, and windows in State of Coconut City don't have much of a view. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. King Bongo the Second's national animal is the human, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Islam.

King Bongo the Second is ranked 308,026^th in the world and 192^nd in The Bongos United for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 594.64 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
