The Empire of Bend Mai is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Erick I with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, anti-smoking policies, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, cheerful population of 4.824 billion Bend Maians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Siorjo. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Bend Maian economy, worth a remarkable 1,095 trillion guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 227,147 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The Messiah (formerly known as Brian) is a mayoral candidate, prenuptial contracts have replaced diamond rings in marriage proposals, military officers are given medals for disobeying orders, and police officers find government bureaucracy more terrifying than most serial killers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bend Mai's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Elotasni.
Bend Mai is ranked 1,833rd in the world and 72nd in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 148.13 law-abiding acts per hour.
