The Lost Wildlife Admirer of Ban Oldern is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Doje Kryqu Rykan Wystwnlyq III with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.346 billion Banolds are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hjuin. The average income tax rate is 93.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Banoldi economy, worth 140 trillion Oleris a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 104,494 Oleris, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

No one is worried about government policies any more, nouveau riche farmers diligently take care of their golden calf herds, badminton was recently banned due to 'unacceptable violence' inherent to the game, and schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students. Crime is totally unknown. Ban Oldern's national animal is the Phoenix Catfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Kanisan Folk Religion.

Ban Oldern is ranked 278,392^nd in the world and 346^th in Refugia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 6,374.16 Standard Monetary Units.
