The State of Pont de Banbury is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete absence of social welfare and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 26.861 billion Pont de Banburyians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.7%.

The powerhouse Pont de Banburyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,262 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Gambling. Average income is 46,988 betales, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 177,600 per year while the poor average 8,649, a ratio of 20.5 to 1.

Education and welfare spending are on the rise, students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, Pont de Banbury has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Pont de Banbury in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Pont de Banbury's national animal is the deer.
