The Republic of Basenja is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, triple-decker prams, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.821 billion Basenjans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Al-Riyazh. The average income tax rate is 8.2%.

The all-consuming Basenjan economy, worth 134 trillion dajajs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Soda Sales, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 74,132 dajajs, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

The media have begun calling the government treasury "Leader's stash", murder is sanctioned if the legal paperwork is filled out correctly, the Basenjan Intelligence Agency relies on internet search engines to know what is happening overseas, and political detractors refer to Leader as 'that Bigtopian puppet'. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Basenja's national animal is the Basenji Goat.

Basenja is ranked 64,417^th in the world and 369^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Patriotic, with 21.88 flags saluted per person per day.
