The Pink Artsy Angel of Bendicion is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Mary Jane Reinaldi 👸 with an even hand, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, anti-smoking policies, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 27.894 billion Bendians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grand Kaliptzy Bendianii 🌆. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Bendian economy, worth an astonishing 17,216 trillion 💲 Doleres a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 617,225 💲 Doleres, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Universities spend millions cultivating ivy on their buildings, civil engineers are undermining sinkholes, the 💲 Dolere is newly gilt in trust, and praying at the office can see you terminated for napping. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bendicion's national animal is the Bald Eagle🦅, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity ✝️.

Bendicion is ranked 832^nd in the world and 16^th in Europe for Smartest Citizens, with 282.27 quips per hour.
