The Community of Binder is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 18 million Binderians 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 tiny government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 7.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Binderian economy, worth 994 billion baht a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,245 baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Universities now offer degrees in cycling etiquette. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Binder's national animal is the bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Binder is ranked 93,114^th in the world and 1^st in Union of western land for Highest Poor Incomes, with 33,257.36 Standard Monetary Units.
