“From possibility to actuality”

The Island States of Benhattan is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by President de Marco with an even hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.71 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Isle of Liberty. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Organised sports are frowned upon as frivolous, same-sex marriages are increasingly common, there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, and the Lion-fish is a protected species. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Benhattan's national animal is the Lion-fish, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Shrapolite.

Benhattan is ranked 588th in the region and 41,760th in the world for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry.
