The Democratic Republic of Bokongo is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by President Agga Buskacaga with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 5.688 billion Bokongonese are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kensa. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.7%.

The powerhouse Bokongonese economy, worth 440 trillion Kilmas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 77,522 Kilmas, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 416,566 per year while the poor average 7,520, a ratio of 55.4 to 1.

Recreational drug businesses are regularly pruned if they grow above the maximum legal size, the transit system is throwing poor people under the bus, most Bokongonese would sell their own grandmother, and citizens must pay to enjoy Bokongo's pristine beaches. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Bokongo's national animal is the Monkey, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cyanism.

Bokongo is ranked 260,262nd in the world and 68th in Aceon for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring zero on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
