The Earl Scruggs Style of Banjoman is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Kentucky Plucker with a fair hand, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, frequent executions, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 26.515 billion Banjomanians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The large, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cleveland County NC. The average income tax rate is 92.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Banjomanian economy, worth a remarkable 7,548 trillion Bluegrass Gold Pieces a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Soda Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 284,679 Bluegrass Gold Pieces, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign spirits are hard to find due to an abundance of "Cletus and Jim Bob's Homemade Banjomanian Moonshine", ADHD now stands for Attention Distracted by Hardware Devices, parents giddily refuse to pay their toddlers' medical bills, and people with political aspirations study how to make balloon animals. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Banjoman's national animal is the Foggy Mountain Panther, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Banjoman is ranked 6,773rd in the world and 75th in NationStates for Largest Populations, with 26.5 billion capita.
