The Mapuvonab of Bananitania is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.7 billion Bananites are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bigamii. The average income tax rate is 73.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Bananitanian economy, worth 245 trillion Bananas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 90,934 Bananas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, arguments about toilet seats being left up or down get surprisingly heated, coffee-addicted citizens look forward to baristas getting their name wrong at local coffee shops, and the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bananitania's national animal is the Yellow banana serpent, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bananitania is ranked 228,452^nd in the world and 4,816^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -4.35 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
