The Human-Grey Hybrid Resolution of Benevolent 25 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Klaatu with an even hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, triple-decker prams, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 15.902 billion Benevolents 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 Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ellipse. The average income tax rate is 27.6%.

The Benevolent economy, worth a remarkable 1,077 trillion Gorts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 67,761 Gorts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Translators have been hired to deal with the varying regional accents during national political debates, airplanes have giant grilles on their noses to knock drones out of their path, pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, and unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police. Crime is totally unknown. Benevolent 25's national animal is the human-grey hybrid, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Gaianism.

Benevolent 25 is ranked 129,723rd in the world and 11th in BENEVOLENT EMPIRE for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,423.6 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
