The Republic of Benoria is a mid-sized, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 62 million Benorians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.3%.

The strong Benorian economy, worth 3.70 trillion Benorian Kroner a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 59,747 Benorian Kroner, with the richest citizens earning 8.7 times as much as the poorest.

Nudity is frowned upon, lavish state dinners in Benoria City are the state's leading budgetary expenditure, schoolchildren must pass a six-month Ethics and Safety Committee Assessment before they are allowed to mix baking soda and vinegar, and sniffer dogs are trained to follow clouds of fruity-smelling vapor. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Benoria's national animal is the European Moose, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Benoria is ranked 232,529^th in the world and 67^th in Tarkin for Highest Poor Incomes, with 18,310.62 Standard Monetary Units.
