The State of Bengo is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 34.258 billion Bengoans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.5%.

The thriving Bengoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,574 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 45,973 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 133,144 per year while the poor average 12,579, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

Young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, military funding has been stripped back, and Bengo has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a problem. Bengo's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Bengo is ranked 30,730^th in the world and 2^nd in Vietnam for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,657.93 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
