The Queen's State of Benafo is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 33.13 billion Benafoans 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, is primarily concerned with Industry, although Education is also considered important, while Defense and Environment aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.4%.

The powerhouse Benafoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,528 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 46,134 betales, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 180,489 per year while the poor average 8,033, a ratio of 22.5 to 1.

Surveillance cameras are banned, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and all tariffs have been abolished. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Benafo's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Benafo is ranked 123,237th in the world and 407th in State for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
