The Snarky Solar Observer of Bhang Bhang Duc is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Salvor Hardin with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, smutty television, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, humorless population of 39.624 billion Lovecraftians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous, corrupt government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Administration, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Four Ecks. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Bhang Bhang Ducian economy, worth a remarkable 7,031 trillion Zevons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 177,459 Zevons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, orphanages are closing their doors as the government forces parents to actually raise their children, teach an angler how to phish and he can make a living, and one does not simply walk into the tundra. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bhang Bhang Duc's national animal is the Slark, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Drinking Brains SA.

Bhang Bhang Duc is ranked 290,760^th in the world and 3,739^th in the West Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -38.6 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
