The Free Land of Bananani is a huge, genial nation, ruled by Rick with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 893 million Bananans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bananiá. The average income tax rate is 76.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Banananian economy, worth 76.2 trillion brucches a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 85,362 brucches, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's surprisingly hard to find pictures of the bad haircuts from Rick's childhood, the breathalyser pledge is a traditional part of marriages in Bananani, Rick's office has a newly installed Max-Man arcade game programmed by a 5th-grader, and prolonged government investigations are a common revenge tactic among spurned significant others. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bananani's national animal is the banana, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bananani is ranked 36,029th in the world and 466th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 193.05 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
