The Empire of Benvik is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Ian I with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, devout population of 4.773 billion Benbenians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Benbenitown. The average income tax rate is 70.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Benvikian economy, worth 586 trillion Benbeniens a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 122,833 Benbeniens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Benvik's national animal is the Lion Ben Benian, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is PCB - Presbyterian Church of the Benbeni.
