The Kingdom of Banija is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Kabaka Mwanga with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, anti-smoking policies, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 18.545 billion Banijans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Busukuma. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Banijan economy, worth a remarkable 1,757 trillion Shillings a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is 94,768 Shillings, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 348,992 per year while the poor average 18,178, a ratio of 19.2 to 1.

Children who can't memorize their multiplication tables are sent to the mines, the volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose, forest fires have dropped dramatically as there are hardly any forests left, and future forecasters fearfully discuss grey goo and human obsolescence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Banija's national animal is the African Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Puritan Church of Latter-Day Saints.

Banija is ranked 7,473rd in the world and 6th in Arrosia for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 2,183.67 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
