The Kingdom of Banija is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Kabaka Mwanga with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 23.797 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 Industry. 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 2,258 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 94,913 Shillings, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 354,074 per year while the poor average 17,838, a ratio of 19.8 to 1.

Bread-gangs raid restaurant waste bins to stockpile uneaten rolls, the Busukuma Film Festival recently voted 'Banijan Getting Hit By Football' as best film, police detectives carry phrenology calipers as part of their standard kit, and third world countries are rich in "I Love Busukuma" t-shirts. 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 226,055th in the world and 23rd in Arrosia for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 260.09 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
