The Tantric Federation of Shokto Bongo is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Debiprasad Sengupta with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 7.917 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 72.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Bongoli economy, worth a remarkable 1,783 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 225,284 tankas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Counselors diagnose their clients with motherboard complexes, insanely good theatre productions face government censorship, group hugs break out during floor votes, and populations of two-headed Bengal tigers have been found around recently-uncovered archaeological sites. 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 31,377^th in the world and 14^th in Pecan Sandies for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 61,277.5 Standard Monetary Units.
