The Democratic Republic of Bokongo is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by President Agga Buskacaga with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, ritual sacrifices, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.139 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, with Law & Order, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kensa. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.3%.

The powerhouse Bokongonese economy, worth 159 trillion Kilmas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 74,779 Kilmas, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 400,585 per year while the poor average 7,302, a ratio of 54.9 to 1.

Defense lawyers suggestively note to juries how flagrantly happy victims were, homosexuality is a crime punishable by death, royalist is the most offensive slur in the Bokongonese language, and the state aims to prevent terrorism by committing acts of terror against suspected aggressors. Crime is moderate. 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 237,132nd in the world and 115th in Barbaria for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 864.56 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
