The Congollective UnTli of BongoHongo is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Prophet of Violet Dr Brandish Gongobongo with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.275 billion BongoHongolese 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 large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of HongoMeBongo. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.9%.
The frighteningly efficient BongoHongoan economy, worth a remarkable 2,761 trillion Bongoli Golden Credits 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 black market in Retail, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 151,123 Bongoli Golden Credits, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.
Doughnut-makers claim their products are healthy because they are fortified with vitamins, robotic spouses prove to be just as imperfect as flesh and blood ones, coat closets are being re-branded as bedrooms, and all citizens are solely referenced by their allocated identity number. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BongoHongo's national animal is the Bongoli Ape, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Gongobongohongolese Order of Violet.
BongoHongo is ranked 286,890th in the world and 233rd in The Regected Realns for Highest Food Quality, scoring 4.21 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
