The Republic of Bongrovia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Mr Leonardis with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ubiquitous missile silos, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 18.546 billion Bongrovians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bongrovia City. The average income tax rate is 91.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bongrovian economy, worth a remarkable 2,801 trillion Bongrovian dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 151,063 Bongrovian dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nine out of ten citizens of Bongrovia answered 'nuclear safety inspector' when asked their occupation, the government is well known for declaring war on other countries for suspected slights, there have been reports of people marrying housepets, and snap elections are called over every minor impasse. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bongrovia's national animal is the Grey Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bongrovia is ranked 248,200^th in the world and 9,704^th in Lazarus for Most Secular, with 13.46 Atheism Rate.
