The Grand yellow holy empire of BhanxaN is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by William Arthur with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.921 billion BhanxaNIans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ublathan. The average income tax rate is 81.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bhanxanian economy, worth 390 trillion Bhxns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 133,561 Bhxns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Nine-year-olds are discovering that they can grow gardens in real life too, decongestants have replaced Bhxns in street transactions, even in the most hardened climate scientists break down at the sound of a single drop of rain, and university admissions staff are blindfolded to prevent accidental bias. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BhanxaN's national animal is the Baby harp seal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is None.

BhanxaN is ranked 19,314^th in the world and 536^th in The North Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 93,027.98 Standard Monetary Units.
