The Most Serene Republic of His Benevolency is a small, orderly nation, renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 20 million His Benevolencyians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 65.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The struggling His Benevolencyian economy, worth 464 billion rupees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is 23,179 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

4-year-olds are often found reminiscing about the 'good old days', Leader reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes, Swan is one of the most popular forenames in His Benevolency, and the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. His Benevolency's national animal is the swan, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

His Benevolency is ranked 53,407^th in the world and 1,031^st in the South Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 17.36 average smiles per day.
