The United Socialist States of Bandarma Nairoda is a large, genial nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 50 million Bandarma Nairodans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Law & Order, and International Aid also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 68.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The struggling Bandarma Nairodan economy, worth 972 billion Naroes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Cheese Exports, and Retail. Average income is 19,441 Naroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty, ambitious "businessmen" use their children to sell and advertise their products, extreme political groups are outlawed, and euthanasia is legal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bandarma Nairoda's national animal is the Snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bandarma Nairoda is ranked 162,828^th in the world and 219^th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 452.48 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
