The Empire of Bendertopia is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Kellen Bender with an iron fist, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, anti-smoking policies, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 7.25 billion Bendertopians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bendersburg. The average income tax rate is 78.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bendertopian economy, worth a remarkable 1,114 trillion bendertopian dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 153,761 bendertopian dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The most penniless demographics have by far the highest number of researchers per capita, preschoolers outnumber veteran politicians in government, the Fashion Channel can only be viewed on widescreen TVs, and keeping the lights on keeps the lights on for increasing amounts of Bendertopians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bendertopia's national animal is the Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Benderanity.

Bendertopia is ranked 290,604^th in the world and 23^rd in The Kingdom of Great Britain for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 33.37 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
