The Military Republic of Benese is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Agent Winbuntu with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, prohibition of alcohol, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 6.775 billion Beneseans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Administration, Industry, and Environment are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Benese city. The average income tax rate is 86.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Benesean economy, worth a remarkable 1,068 trillion kronor 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. 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 an impressive 157,673 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government funds large training centres to turn dolphins into functioning members of society, soldiers are equipped with multi-million krona battlesuits, the Benesean government is the world's largest NGO, and the sun now sets on the Benesean Empire. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Benese's national animal is the dolphin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Judaism and Islam.

Benese is ranked 11,701^st in the world and 300^th in the South Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 10,643.65 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
