The Federation of Bongiya is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Đỗ Hữu Trí with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 1.155 billion Bongians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bonganis. The average income tax rate is 62.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bongiyan economy, worth 112 trillion Bongian Đồngs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,320 Bongian Đồngs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Political scientists despair as the national mascot election eclipses all others in voter enthusiasm, one does not simply walk into the tundra, drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking, and the nation's space program is doxxing the planet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bongiya's national animal is the Water buffalo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is No official state religion.

Bongiya is ranked 31,711^th in the world and 555^th in The East Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 19.85 average smiles per day.
