The Grand Duchy of Bans Chum is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.737 billion Bans Chumians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Badger Bay. The average income tax rate is 82.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Bans Chumian economy, worth 360 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 76,113 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Diplomatic cables about Leader have suddenly been very flattering, one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, army doctors who come under attack defend themselves by using stethoscopes like nunchaku, and endangered bison are herded across the border to prevent them from trampling on native prairie grass. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bans Chum's national animal is the badger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Mustelidism.

Bans Chum is ranked 55,428th in the world and 803rd in the Rejected Realms for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 75.22 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
