The Federal Republic of Bonchaw is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The democratic population of 479 million Bondikins love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Āpontal. The average income tax rate is 15.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Bonchawian economy, worth 19.8 trillion Bondikis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,417 Bondikis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elected officials who disagree with Leader have a lot of accidents, the face of Leader is a permanent feature of the Āpontal skyline, riot police are stationed around paintings of violent protestors, and the most popular stadium acts are one-off performances. Crime is totally unknown. Bonchaw's national animal is the Ibex.

Bonchaw is ranked 77,264^th in the world and 551^st in the Plains of Perdition for Most Secular, with 17.74 Atheism Rate.
