The Republic of Beneti is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Touré Calix with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 925 million Benetiens love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anulagu. The average income tax rate is 72.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Benetien economy, worth 81.1 trillion Benetien Graínes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 87,622 Benetien Graínes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, people can often be seen driving to work in war-surplus tanks, the fate of the world literally rests on President Touré Calix's fingers, and surrogate mothers are encouraged to refer to their wombs as 'rental space'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Beneti's national animal is the Macaw, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Beneti is ranked 16,377th in the world and 472nd in the South Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 129.57 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
