The Most Serene Republic of French Bananastan is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emma Peel with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 16.628 billion French Bananastanians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ardis Hall. The average income tax rate is 92.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient French Bananastanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,000 trillion Widgets a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 120,333 Widgets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Truth is often impossible to tell from fiction on the evening news, euthanasia is legal, former stunt pilots are unable to pass the licence test to fly a drone, and street preachers spend more time condemning government bureaucracy than passers-by. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. French Bananastan's national animal is the Pangolin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is none of anyone's business.

French Bananastan is ranked 11,412th in the world and 510th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 112 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
