The Commonwealth of Benia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Xez de Benion Lopen with an iron fist, and notable for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.283 billion Benians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of AnaxFran de Benion. The average income tax rate is 71.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Benian economy, worth 75.7 trillion bengs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Pizza Delivery, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 59,028 bengs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The subway is dead quiet in early afternoons, "Xez de Benion Lopen got your tongue?" has become a popular idiom, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, and trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Benia's national animal is the gato, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cristianismo Católico.

Benia is ranked 94,543^rd in the world and 60^th in Covenant Shores for Most Secular, with 17.53 Atheism Rate.
