The Most Serene Republic of Benjanistan is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 333 million Benjanistanians 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 relatively small government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.7%.

The strong Benjanistanian economy, worth 21.8 trillion Lagers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 65,412 Lagers, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

It's harder to qualify for IVF than for a good university, the nation's soldiers are considered the best-dressed in Harry Hood Haters, the world outside is only known of in folklore, and construction workers evacuate work sites after finding sharp rocks on the ground. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Benjanistan's national animal is the Spy Pigeon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Benjanistan is ranked 171,396^th in the world and 6^th in Harry Hood Haters for Largest Governments, scoring 12 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
