The Principality of Bonbane is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and daily referendums. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.671 billion Bonbaneans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vichy. The average income tax rate is 77.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Bonbanean economy, worth 326 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,839 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Leader is considering changing the Bonbanean flag to one with more glitter, the nation's politicians are acknowledged as the most polite in the region to the dismay of comedians everywhere, aspiring musicians couldn't give away their music if they tried, and red text rains down on the head of anyone who dares to step out of line (Bonbane has found 2 easter eggs). Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bonbane's national animal is the cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bonbane is ranked 10,933^rd in the world and 302^nd in The East Pacific for Safest, scoring 120.15 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
