The Republic of Banksial is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Dave The Great with a fair hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, state-planned economy, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.411 billion Banksialians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Madatree. The average income tax rate is 78.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Banksialian economy, worth 718 trillion Banks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is 85,377 Banks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ministers browse Alright! magazine for fashion tips, the volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose, doctors prescribe videos of political debates to patients with insomnia, and soldiers have swapped their uniforms for prisonwear. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Banksial's national animal is the Bee, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheism.

Banksial is ranked 233,060th in the world and 2,598th in the Pacific for Most Stationary, with 23.2839087094 days.
