The Madman on a Motorcycle of BMA Rides Again is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by J Blackwolf with a fair hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.428 billion Bannites hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brachycardian City. The average income tax rate is 9.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Banned economy, worth 161 trillion Bans a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Trout Farming, and Retail. Average income is 66,585 Bans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Military recruitment numbers are down as citizens object on 'moral grounds', sofas are perpetually on sales that Must End Soon, J Blackwolf has just been declared ruler of BMA Rides Again in an international press conference, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. BMA Rides Again's national animal is the Troll, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Defender Moralism.

BMA Rides Again is ranked 126,075^th in the world and 1,394^th in Artificial Solar System for Safest, scoring 70.45 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
