The Power Trip of Banhammer Wielders is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by General Hammer with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 10.063 billion Regional Officers are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Keisterburg. The average income tax rate is 91.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Banhammer Wieldersian economy, worth a remarkable 1,427 trillion Hammers a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 141,875 Hammers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government is plagued with uncertainty, the government is keeping a watch on all seeing eyes, the new cheese tax is colloquially known as "wheel welfare", and chess players with pacemakers and cochlear implants are treated with suspicion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Banhammer Wielders's national animal is the Boot, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Church of the Banhammer.

Banhammer Wielders is ranked 311,616th in the world and 69th in The Card Mine for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -10.18 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
