The Federal Republic of Bannaba is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 206 million bananas have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 40.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Bannaban economy, worth 15.7 trillion banana bread shaped coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 75,985 banana bread shaped coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Many parents are becoming frustrated with their children's choices in spouses, homeless people can be found sleeping on streets in front of unoccupied second homes, the government is a proud sponsor of the National Gaming Association, and all industry is owned and run by the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bannaba's national animal is the Banana bread, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bannaba is ranked 299,665^th in the world and 114^th in Africa for Largest Black Market, with 20.0 billion Standard Monetary Units.
