The District of South Bentley is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 17.737 billion Southmen are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.7%.

The very strong South Bentleyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,030 trillion aurums a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 58,105 aurums, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 164,019 per year while the poor average 16,477, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

All major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, penurious citizens die from easily remedied ailments because they aren't 'taking enough initiative', and South Bentley has designated District City as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force. South Bentley's national animal is the bovina.

South Bentley is ranked 242,021^st in the world and 7^th in Community of Nations for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 623.96 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
