The Tantric Federation of Shokto Bongo is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Debiprasad Sengupta with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 7.769 billion Bongolis are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kolkata. The average income tax rate is 72.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Bongoli economy, worth a remarkable 1,729 trillion tankas a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 222,662 tankas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, the single-issue Chocolates for Convicts Party recently won several council seats, there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, and recapturing giraffes is proving to be a tall order. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Shokto Bongo's national animal is the Bengal tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Kalikula Shaktism.

Shokto Bongo is ranked 81,648th in the world and 19th in Pecan Sandies for Most Stationary, with 592.08321828872 days.
