The Pink Artsy Angel of Bendicion is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Mary Jane Reinaldi 👸 with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 27.307 billion Bendians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grand Kaliptzy Bendianii 🌆. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Bendian economy, worth an astonishing 16,868 trillion 💲 Doleres a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 617,738 💲 Doleres, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bicyclists are banned from major roads, welfare funding has recently gone through the roof, the new "Bloodbath" orange tree autonomously seeks and destroys independent orchards, and the government is hounded to provide tissues whenever the feelings of the Dàguó people are hurt. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bendicion's national animal is the Bald Eagle🦅, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity ✝️.

Bendicion is ranked 306,446th in the world and 868th in Europe for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 14.89 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
