The People's Republic of Bogani is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, ubiquitous missile silos, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 564 million Boganians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cleikenchoff. The average income tax rate is 6.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Boganian economy, worth 42.4 trillion Fingers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 75,215 Fingers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Women find themselves saying "my eyes are up here" more often than they used to, the public health bureaucracy is wrapped in miles of red tape, homeless people can be found sleeping on streets in front of unoccupied second homes, and the rainbow assortment of chemicals in the water has turned the frogs gay. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Bogani's national animal is the Parker Roy, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Bogani is ranked 25,717^th in the world and 670^th in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 52.91 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
