The Yorensian Empire of The Banana Sun is a colossal, pleasant nation, ruled by Unknown with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 2.835 billion Canclones are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Administration and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bananium. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The strong Canclone economy, worth 189 trillion Tin Cans a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 66,976 Tin Cans, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 374,197 per year while the poor average 5,969, a ratio of 62.7 to 1.

Pizzerias often get delivery orders for Saturn and alien first-born are considered a delicacy (The Banana Sun has found 1 easter egg), soldiers are equipped with multi-million Tin Can battlesuits, Thosoknism has been named as The Banana Sun's national religion, and Unknown has just been declared ruler of The Banana Sun in an international press conference. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Banana Sun's national animal is the Jwasuihai, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Thosoknism.

The Banana Sun is ranked 80,975th in the world and 22nd in Timoria for Nicest Citizens, with 15.51 average smiles per day.
