The Free Land of Bananani is a huge, socially progressive nation, ruled by Sir Dr Prof Blake B Banan with an even hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 819 million Bananans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bananiá. The average income tax rate is 75.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Banananian economy, worth 68.1 trillion brucches a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is 83,208 brucches, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The needs of the living outweigh the needs of the dead, it's often raining men (hallelujah) in Bananiá, every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government, and the nation is currently revamping its entire education system. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bananani's national animal is the banana, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bananani is ranked 273,474^th in the world and 1,249^th in Europe for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -9.7 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
