The Christmas Artsy Angel of Bendicion is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Mary Jane Reinaldi with an even hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 22.801 billion Bendians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grand Kalipzty Bendianii. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Bendian economy, worth an astonishing 13,432 trillion Doleres a year, is 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 589,111 Doleres, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus, the word "alcohol" is a trauma trigger for children as young as five, handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, and wealthy parents-to-be can select their perfect baby. 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 280,216th in the world and 1,295th in Europe for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -11.31 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
