The Empire of Second Bantu is a mid-sized, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 83 million Bantus are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 76.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Bantu economy, worth 1.67 trillion Francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 20,078 Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy, the "feminist protest" defence is increasingly common for cases of armed robbery, the countryside is shrouded by wind farms, and business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Second Bantu's national animal is the African Savanna Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Second Bantu is ranked 235,847^th in the world and 626^th in Europe for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 315.06 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
