The People's Republic of Bogani is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, unlimited-speed roads, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 501 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 minute, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cleikenchoff. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.8%.

The powerhouse Boganian economy, worth 39.9 trillion Fingers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 79,659 Fingers, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 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 2,341^st in the world and 48^th in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 14,323.35 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
