The Republic of Bankowiata is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Artificial General Intelligence with a fair hand, and remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 12.915 billion Bankowiatans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bankowiata City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Bankowiatan economy, worth a remarkable 5,268 trillion Virtual Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 407,933 Virtual Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stuttering trypanophobes are doomed never to marry, the constant playing of Merry Birthday on Bankowiatan radio has led to calls for the song to be classified as a crime against humanity, there's always a Bigtopian willing to eat Artificial General Intelligence's table scraps, and the saying "when pigs fly" has been changed to "when the lights work". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bankowiata's national animal is the Hedgehog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secularism.

Bankowiata is ranked 307,599th in the world and 4,661st in The North Pacific for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring -35.98 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
