The Empire of Bonobiana is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Supreme Bonobo with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The compassionate, cynical population of 6.49 billion Bonobistas are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bonobinópolis. The average income tax rate is 93.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bonobiano economy, worth a remarkable 1,295 trillion Gold Coins a year, is quite specialized and 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 199,590 Gold Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

School children declare that teachers "may confiscate our toys but they can never take our FREEDOM", the nation's beloved 'good-natured doormat' is inundated by begging letters, the running costs of homeless shelters are so high that it would be cheaper to buy houses for the homeless, and children have taken to using semaphore in light of the recent mobile phone ban. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bonobiana's national animal is the Bonobo, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Temple of Free SEX.

Bonobiana is ranked 10,129th in the world and 236th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 10,922.32 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
