The Best Nation of Bonkbonk is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by God-Emperor Sklue Goefoe Fingledang with an iron fist, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, smutty television, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.873 billion bonkbonkians 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, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Administration, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Phlembelch. The average income tax rate is 83.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient bonkbonkian economy, worth 767 trillion schnuckles 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. 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 198,174 schnuckles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The consumption of vegetables is illegal, wanting a better life for your child is prohibited by a clause in the criminal code, annual Formula One races bring the capital to a screeching halt, and foreign governments regularly accuse the bonkbonkian military of war crimes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bonkbonk's national animal is the great bonkbonkian explosive worm, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Skluethleck.

Bonkbonk is ranked 16,854^th in the world and 43^rd in The League for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 308.18 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
