The Royal Military Archony of Bonden is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Archon of Bonden Sir Matt with an iron fist, and remarkable for its enslaved workforce, keen interest in outer space, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.356 billion Bondenavians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Veloria. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Bondeninavian economy, worth 211 trillion SuperCredits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 155,472 SuperCredits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,168,664 per year while the poor average 5,930, a ratio of 197 to 1.

The government keeps introducing new foreign species to combat the previous ones it has introduced, selling your granddad's clothes requires an incredible amount of paperwork, celebrity wrestlers thumb their nose at due process, and Archon of Bonden Sir Matt has killer fashion sense. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bonden's national animal is the Chartruex Cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Ordinist Christianity.

Bonden is ranked 83,954^th in the world and 1,358^th in The North Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 66.16 on the Human Development Index.
