The Federal Republic of Bannaba is a large, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working population of 189 million bananas 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.8%.

The very strong Bannaban economy, worth 15.3 trillion banana bread shaped coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 80,774 banana bread shaped coins, with the richest citizens earning 9.3 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's armed forces are recruiting thousands to help colonise Brasilistan, talking during class is a gateway to lifelong drug addiction, trolls insist that strings of racial slurs mean "good morning" in obscure languages, and the nation has gained millions of new citizens overnight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bannaba's national animal is the Banana bread, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bannaba is ranked 95,716^th in the world and 41^st in Africa for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,433.15 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
