The Republic of Beneti is a huge, safe nation, ruled by President Touré Calix with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 828 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 71.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Benetien economy, worth 69.3 trillion Benetien Graínes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 83,743 Benetien Graínes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles, young adults still believe that Macaws deliver newborns to expecting parents, political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, and The Pipe Bomb Makers' Pop-Up Book can be found in preschool libraries. 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 261,721st in the world and 4,824th in the South Pacific for Most Armed, with 0.18 weapons per person.
