The Democratic State of Bennathia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Rensa Qliz with an even hand, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, daily referendums, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 1.16 billion Bennathians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of San Hedrin. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.4%.

The powerhouse Bennathian economy, worth 76.6 trillion banoEWs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 66,071 banoEWs, with the richest citizens earning 7.3 times as much as the poorest.

Dubiously qualified East Lebatuckese doctors prescribe ice baths as a treatment for pneumonia, looting and pillaging are now considered vital intelligence-gathering activities, exam halls are littered with used needles and empty pill bottles, and the new Ampusase Supremacy Party is faring well in the polls. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bennathia's national animal is the Ampusase, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bennathia is ranked 151,140^th in the world and 15^th in Semaya Region for Largest Governments, scoring 13.04 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
