Holy Bingle

The Republic of Holy Bingle is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 319 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 78.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Holy Binglean economy, worth 20.9 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 major contributions from Tourism and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 65,414 furbies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hordes of tourists are ruining the environment, there has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees, giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls, and nude art is becoming wildly popular. 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 35,716th in the world and 121st in Refugia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 79.77 law-abiding acts per hour.
