The Unknown Expectations of Benevolent 0 is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Klaatu with an even hand, and remarkable for its fear of technology and frequent executions. The compassionate, devout population of 12.406 billion Benevolents have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ellipsis. The average income tax rate is 40.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Benevolent economy, worth 620 trillion gorts a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 50,005 gorts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, it is a common belief that a sport isn't sport if there are no decapitations, there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, and "Klaatu got your tongue?" has become a popular idiom. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Benevolent 0's national animal is the human-grey hybrid, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Gaianism.

Benevolent 0 is ranked 24,245^th in the world and 1^st in BENEVOLENT EMPIRE for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 6,096.07 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
