The Community of Bn is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, lack of airports, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 20.019 billion Bnians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Bnian economy, worth a remarkable 3,084 trillion Golds a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 154,103 Golds, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.

Roaming gangsters have been replaced by roaming drunkards, boys are shocked by the revolutionary lesson that women are actually human, the threat of economic apocalypse brings out the best in people, and nine-year-olds are discovering that they can grow gardens in real life too. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bn's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bn is ranked 297,184th in the world and 1,313th in Artificial Solar System for Least Corrupt Governments, with 44.85 percentage of bribes refused.
