The Free Land of Bananani is a huge, genial nation, ruled by Sir Dr Prof Blake B Banan with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 808 million Bananans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bananiá. The average income tax rate is 75.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Banananian economy, worth 67.2 trillion brucches a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is 83,208 brucches, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The needs of the living outweigh the needs of the dead, it's often raining men (hallelujah) in Bananiá, every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government, and the nation is currently revamping its entire education system. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bananani's national animal is the banana, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bananani is ranked 149,555^th in the world and 730^th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 446.61 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
