The Dictatorship of Banosvia is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 285 million Banonions are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 15.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Banosvian economy, worth 16.3 trillion Banons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 57,274 Banons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Refugees from other nations are flocking to Banosvia's border, 'A is for Annulment' is a popular children's song, The Pipe Bomb Makers' Pop-Up Book can be found in preschool libraries, and bris parties are all the rage. Crime is almost non-existent. Banosvia's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Banosvia is ranked 119,512^th in the world and 187^th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,628.05 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
