The Free Land of Bento Bay is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Steve Wallace with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, prohibition of alcohol, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 27.097 billion Bento Bayians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Law & Order, and Social Policy also on the agenda, while Defense is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bay Area. The average income tax rate is 92.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bento Bayian economy, worth a remarkable 2,769 trillion Papers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is an impressive 102,222 Papers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, flight attendants rip down curtains with revolutionary fervor, the words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence, and power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bento Bay's national animal is the Whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Bento Bay is ranked 62,020th in the world and 2nd in Gamer Paradise for Most Stationary, with 754.88244743048 days.
