The 67676767 of BenSimon is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 680 million BenSimonians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ben Simon City. The average income tax rate is 73.9%.

The BenSimonian economy, worth 54.5 trillion evil dollars 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 large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 80,174 evil dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

In-cite-ment never happens at tea parties, back-alley circumcision clinics are popping up all over the nation, the latest electric jet fighter has almost enough battery charge to reach cruising altitude -- provided you don't use the radar, and Leader's Twitcher account is typically used to share cobra memes rather than government policy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BenSimon's national animal is the cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

BenSimon is ranked 317,041^st in the world and 169^th in Fifth Empire for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 14.18 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
