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

The Dominion of Banieltopia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Gaaary The Magnificent with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.189 billion Banieltopians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bantropolis. The average income tax rate is 75.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Banieltopian economy, worth 333 trillion Bonsas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,480 Bonsas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The richest individuals apparently buy nothing but noodles and toilet paper, marketing departments of corporate giants compete to sponsor little league teams, pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, and the slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Banieltopia's national animal is the Noble Turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Bonsism.

Banieltopia is ranked 20,316^th in the world and 441^st in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 89.45 law-abiding acts per hour.
