The Empire of Bonobiana is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Bonobo with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.948 billion Bonobistas have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bonobinópolis. The average income tax rate is 87.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bonobiano economy, worth 930 trillion Gold Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 188,059 Gold Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hell is not always other people, crossword puzzles have been co-opted as a symbol of racial discrimination, women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms, and toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters. 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 frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Temple of Free SEX.

Bonobiana is ranked 271,223^rd in the world and 4,939^th in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -10.02 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
