“It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time!”

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

The Fruity Folks of Mr Banana is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic population of 11.1 billion Bananans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Social Policy, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 52.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Bananan economy, worth 408 trillion Gold Bananas 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Automobile Manufacturing, Gambling, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. 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 36,790 Gold Bananas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mr Banana's national animal is the Fruit Snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mr Banana is ranked 171,329^th in the world and 39^th in Hippy Haven for Lowest Crime Rates, with 59.17 law-abiding acts per hour.
