The United Republic of New Benjamin

“Fraternal Union”

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

The United Republic of New Benjamin is a mammoth, cultured nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, digital currency, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, devout population of 6.429 billion New Benjaminians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Paul. The average income tax rate is 81.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Benjaminian economy, worth a remarkable 1,026 trillion New Benjamin dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 159,734 New Benjamin dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Protecting the land is holey work, people who eat pizza with lactase supplements are arrested by the flavour police, army regiments supporting different football teams are a frequent cause of friendly fire incidents, and wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Benjamin's national animal is the Eurasian wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Benjamin is ranked 57,763^rd in the world and 529^th in Europe for Most Cultured, scoring 70 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
