The 67676767 of BenSimon is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 665 million BenSimonians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ben Simon City. The average income tax rate is 74.0%.

The BenSimonian economy, worth 53.5 trillion evil dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 80,376 evil dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Political loyalty is enforced by way of chemical addiction, there is a law against "filthy foreign food", an underground movement of cigarette smokers has sprung up in response to a government ban, and curtailed social programs have left many citizens bereft of any safety net. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BenSimon's national animal is the cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

BenSimon is ranked 27,984^th in the world and 74^th in Fifth Empire for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 73.97 Effective Tax Rate.
