The Federal Republic of Bannaba is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 117 million bananas 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.1%.

The strong Bannaban economy, worth 9.06 trillion banana bread shaped coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 77,415 banana bread shaped coins, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Unemployed political consultants and advertisers spend every election night weeping for the good old days, the path to inner peace is paved with state-mandated punishment, poaching has been on the rise after animals from the nation's zoos were released into the wild, and men are enrolling into lady etiquette courses. 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 93,550^th in the world and 44^th in Africa for Most Developed, scoring 63.11 on the Human Development Index.
