The People's Republic of Benjina is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Supreme Leader Ben with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, parental licensing program, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 8.667 billion Mortish are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trisov. The average income tax rate is 79.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Mortish economy, worth 660 trillion Morts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Trout Farming. Average income is 76,157 Morts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anti-government web sites are springing up, the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, Supreme Leader Ben signs the laws but abides by none of them, and snooze factory is now prison lingo for rehabilitation center. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Benjina's national animal is the Eagle of Peace, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Gastcund.

Benjina is ranked 59,082^nd in the world and 3,051^st in Osiris for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
