The Holy Empire of BeNjAmInLaNdIa is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by STRGINDPNDTBLCKWMN with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 1.912 billion BeNjAmInLaNdIans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Budne. The average income tax rate is 42.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming BeNjAmInLaNdIan economy, worth 204 trillion Benjamins 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. 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 106,884 Benjamins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The annual budget is heralded by the Treasury Minister donning a fake plastic mustache and giant star-shaped glasses, STRGINDPNDTBLCKWMN can often be seen hanging around playgrounds chatting with the kids, park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, and citizens insist that there's no law against standing downwind when marijuana crops are burned off. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. BeNjAmInLaNdIa's national animal is the Blobfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is K'SAWSNT RL AND OBMA RND R CNTRY.

BeNjAmInLaNdIa is ranked 63,028^th in the world and 1,095^th in The East Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,083.81 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
