The Raving Wormy Republic of Bingusell is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by The National Advisors Council with an even hand, and renowned for its lack of airports, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 5.304 billion Bingusi have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grapevine. The average income tax rate is 68.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bingillian economy, worth 591 trillion Bings a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 111,476 Bings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political scientists despair as the national mascot election eclipses all others in voter enthusiasm, the people's love for The National Advisors Council is little more than self-preservation, Bingillian scientists are mixing chewing tobacco with bacon flavouring in an attempt to craft the perfect male snack, and popular sunny beaches always have a cloudy outlook. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bingusell's national animal is the Vine Worm, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Worm Rave.

Bingusell is ranked 21,361^st in the world and 44^th in Karma for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 8,436.33 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
