The Kingdom of Banija is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Kabaka Mwanga with an even hand, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 18.335 billion Banijans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Busukuma. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Banijan economy, worth a remarkable 1,737 trillion Shillings a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is 94,768 Shillings, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 348,992 per year while the poor average 18,178, a ratio of 19.2 to 1.

Children who can't memorize their multiplication tables are sent to the mines, the volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose, forest fires have dropped dramatically as there are hardly any forests left, and future forecasters fearfully discuss grey goo and human obsolescence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Banija's national animal is the African Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Puritan Church of Latter-Day Saints.

Banija is ranked 149,239th in the world and 11th in Arrosia for Most Stationary, with 164.37689479872 days.
