The Holy Order of Daredbannana is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Donald Obanana with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and smutty television. The devout population of 3.26 billion Daredbannanans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Big Bannana. The average income tax rate is 68.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Daredbannanan economy, worth 318 trillion Bannana peals a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,803 Bannana peals, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, the Daredbannanan Tourism Bureau has described the abolition of coastal defences as a "kick to the groyne", schoolchildren on field trips are asked what torture means to them, and thrift shops are closing their doors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Daredbannana's national animal is the Red Bannana, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Daredbannana is ranked 258,194^th in the world and 305^th in Christians for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -4.38 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
