The Pink Artsy Angel of Bendicion is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Mary Jane Reinaldi 👸 with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 23.701 billion Bendians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grand Kaliptzy Bendianii 🌆. The average income tax rate is 99.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Bendian economy, worth an astonishing 14,419 trillion 💲 Candy Cane Gold Bars a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 608,395 💲 Candy Cane Gold Bars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Blue sky thinkers are reminded that the firmament is actually more of a grey-ish colour, soldiers on first dates introduce themselves only by their ranks and serial numbers, elected officials often serve for decades in a single term, and politicians always seem to take two steps forward then three steps back. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bendicion's national animal is the Bald Eagle🦅, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity ✝️.

Bendicion is ranked 132^nd in the world and 2^nd in Europe for Highest Poor Incomes, with 449,991.03 Standard Monetary Units.
