The Incorporated States of Bananaelan is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ijjamin with a fair hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.124 billion Bananaelans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, with Education and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lometo. The average income tax rate is 7.9%.

The strong Bananaelan economy, worth 61.6 trillion Bananaelanese Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 54,800 Bananaelanese Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

The country behaves just like a group of independent provinces all stacked up under a trench coat, crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, the 'sing-a-long with Ijjamin' album is a popular souvenir, and Ijjamin has just been declared ruler of Bananaelan in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Bananaelan's national animal is the Banana-Thief Cat, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Bananaelan is ranked 307,759^th in the world and 1^st in Bubblegum Islands for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 189.84 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
