The State of Benafu is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its complete lack of public education, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 33.07 billion Benafuans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The powerhouse Benafuan economy, worth a remarkable 1,817 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is 54,967 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 194,568 per year while the poor average 11,212, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, the government is avowedly atheist, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and Benafu has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Benafu's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Benafu is ranked 144,129^th in the world and 1^st in Polynesia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 76.49 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
