The Federal Republic of Bannaba is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its smutty television, prohibition of alcohol, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate population of 254 million bananas are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of N'Djamena. The average income tax rate is 44.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Bannaban economy, worth 19.7 trillion banana bread shaped coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 77,616 banana bread shaped coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

A suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, the urban poor thumbs down the new hitchhiking ban, Leader's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success, and Bannaba has designated N'Djamena as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bannaba's national animal is the Banana bread, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bannaba is ranked 23,176^th in the world and 16^th in Africa for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 53.51 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
