The Republic of Citio Ben is a small, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 45 million Citio Benians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.8%.

The very strong Citio Benian economy, worth 3.24 trillion rubles a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 72,019 rubles, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 292,004 per year while the poor average 11,824, a ratio of 24.7 to 1.

Wealthy parents-to-be can select their perfect baby, Leader has killer fashion sense, folk singers have replaced personal injury lawyers in being ridiculed as "ambulance chasers", and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Citio Ben's national animal is the Crocodile, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Citio Ben is ranked 273,744^th in the world and 936^th in Concord for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 430.56 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
