Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Bangeli is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Mangapul Darmidi with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, absence of drug laws, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 4.216 billion Bangelians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mangapul. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Bangelian economy, worth 775 trillion pounds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 183,854 pounds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,669,800 per year while the poor average 2,335, a ratio of 714 to 1.

Twins move across the country to avoid being accused of the other's crimes, it's best to decline if Mangapul Darmidi offers to buy a round of drinks, almost all of the nation's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices, and museum employees look down on short people. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Bangeli's national animal is the fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Anti J.

Bangeli is ranked 240,493^rd in the world and 6^th in Sulawesi for Most Primitive, scoring -126.65 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
