The Republic of Holy Bingle is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 376 million Binglians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 80.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Holy Binglean economy, worth 25.2 trillion furbies 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, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is 66,894 furbies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Interest in globalism never flags, the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, and the fire brigade often deal with cases of burnt toast. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Holy Bingle's national animal is the Bingle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Holy Bingle is ranked 162,480^th in the world and 267^th in Refugia for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,236.33 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
