The State of Banghazi is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 12.787 billion Banghazians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Industry, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.5%.

The very strong Banghazian economy, worth 768 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 60,126 betales, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 370,390 per year while the poor average 4,247, a ratio of 87.2 to 1.

The nation faces constant invasions by foreign boy bands, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, education and welfare spending are on the rise, and punitive tariffs protect local industry. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Banghazi's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Banghazi is ranked 266,485^th in the world and 5^th in An Alternate World for Lowest Crime Rates, with 40.31 law-abiding acts per hour.
