The Snarky Solar Observer of Bhang Bhang Duc is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Le Chromosphere with a fair hand, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 32.696 billion Lovecraftians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, outspoken morass — prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Administration, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Four Ecks. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Bhang Bhang Ducian economy, worth a remarkable 4,287 trillion Zevons a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 131,118 Zevons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Replacement organs are grown in vats, only clowns with PhDs from clown college can advise Le Chromosphere on Bhang Bhang Duc's coulrophobia epidemic, baby dolls thrown in the trash are a leading cause of panic attacks, and surrealist houses shaped like mushrooms and volcanoes dominate the wealthiest neighborhoods. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bhang Bhang Duc's national animal is the Slark, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Drinking Brains SA.

Bhang Bhang Duc is ranked 61,039^th in the world and 511^th in the West Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 1.74 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
