The Endless Excitement of Bongo the Adorable is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Bongo with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, parental licensing program, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 27.807 billion Humans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bongolola. The average income tax rate is 92.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but sluggish Bongo the Adorablean economy, worth a remarkable 1,184 trillion treats a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,579 treats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The comic book series 'Bongo and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller, foreign governments are threatened if they so much as mention the word "election", signs saying "No Poor People or Weirdoes" are common outside shops and cafés, and the government is spending millions on lawyers' fees trying to get Bongo off a murder charge. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bongo the Adorable's national animal is the havanese, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catch.

Bongo the Adorable is ranked 7,642nd in the world and 2nd in Out Of Left Field for Most Stationary, with 2,679.3128338498 days.
