The Constitutional Monarchy of Banana Republik is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 205 million Banana Republikians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.5%.

The very strong Banana Republikian economy, worth 14.7 trillion BSDS a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Gambling. Average income is 71,733 BSDS, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

International terrorists often get their weapons supply in Banana Republik, surrealist houses shaped like mushrooms and volcanoes dominate the wealthiest neighborhoods, the hardest thing for a mining operation to dig through is government red tape, and droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Banana Republik's national animal is the Panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Banana Republik is ranked 247,014^th in the world and 75^th in Byzantion for Largest Populations, with 205 million capita.
