The Republic of Bank15 is a massive, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The compassionate, hard-working population of 1.498 billion Bank15ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 22.3%.

The Bank15ian economy, worth 74.3 trillion banks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 49,623 banks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Government police forces protect public schools from the threat of protest, prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, hostage-takers offer loyalty scheme points for prompt payment, and Bank15 has designated Bank15 City as its capital city. Crime is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bank15's national animal is the card, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Bank15 is ranked 116,184^th in the world and 144^th in Hispano Germanic Alliance for Safest, scoring 75.42 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
