The Elective Eastern Monarchy of Banshee Boo is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by King Louis I with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, compulsory military service, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, devout population of 4.632 billion Slokorians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Archester. The average income tax rate is 59.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The slokorian economy, worth 248 trillion runian franks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 53,651 runian franks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Executions often take hours as amateurs attempt to find veins, blind dates reemerge as a necessary evil in the quest for love, military officers are given medals for disobeying orders, and the government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Banshee Boo's national animal is the red kite and its national religion is Sekhmetism.

Banshee Boo is ranked 64,924^th in the world and 67^th in United Kingdom for Lowest Crime Rates, with 74.24 law-abiding acts per hour.
