The Democratic Monarchy of The United Tribes of Bantai is a massive, genial nation, ruled by King Baracashan Capcabaicpaan with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 4.241 billion Maeurcas 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vantaij City. The average income tax rate is 80.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Maeurca economy, worth 219 trillion Maqukhs a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Basket Weaving industry. Average income is 51,766 Maqukhs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case, people across the world seek to be healthier by eliminating carbs, prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The United Tribes of Bantai's national animal is the Mzata, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is General paganism.
