The Unreported Sightings of Benevolent 1 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mark Time with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 18.211 billion Benevolents enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ellipsis. The average income tax rate is 91.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Benevolent economy, worth a remarkable 1,588 trillion Gorts a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 87,209 Gorts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Voters must frequently select what they view as the lesser of two evils on the ballot, news headlines usually include p-values, the annual budget is heralded by the Treasury Minister donning a fake plastic mustache and giant star-shaped glasses, and requests to "pass the salt" are supported by tank divisions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Benevolent 1's national animal is the human-grey hybrid, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Gaianism.

Benevolent 1 is ranked 140,107th in the world and 1st in BENEVOLENT EMPIRE for Most Stationary, with 207.28145067312 days.
