The Federal Republic of Bannaba is a large, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, prohibition of alcohol, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working population of 123 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 Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.0%.

The strong Bannaban economy, worth 9.12 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 Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 74,117 banana bread shaped coins, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Pillows outnumber picket signs at most workers rallies, almost all products in Bannaba are hand-crafted due to strict employment laws, voters are one of the nation's top imports, and the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry. 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 27,825^th in the world and 26^th in Africa for Most Cultured, scoring 81 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
