The Dictatorship of Southern Bentopia is a large, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 116 million Southern Bentopians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.0%.

The very strong Southern Bentopian economy, worth 7.55 trillion Beniras a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is 65,092 Beniras, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 203,871 per year while the poor average 15,933, a ratio of 12.8 to 1.

Class clowns are frequently listed among the most dangerous criminals in the nation, behind every local dictator is a Southern Bentopian advisor whispering in their ear, seafood restaurants assure customers 'If it lives in the sea, it's on our menu', and public incontinence is a growing problem amongst the nation's women. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Southern Bentopia's national animal is the Elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Southern Bentopia is ranked 182,654^th in the world and 115^th in Eladria for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,280.01 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
