Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The People's Republic of Bananaistan is a gargantuan, genial nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic population of 22.56 billion Bananamen hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Environment, and Social Policy also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shrone. The average income tax rate is 89.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bananamen economy, worth a remarkable 2,371 trillion Pounds a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 105,113 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation', snooze factory is now prison lingo for rehabilitation center, a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, and editorials that criticize the government are legally obligated to display the "pants on fire" warning. Crime is totally unknown. Bananaistan's national animal is the Ant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bananaistan is ranked 74,444^th in the world and 217^th in Forest for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,492.04 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
