The Republic of Beneti is a huge, genial nation, ruled by President Touré Calix with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 821 million Benetiens love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anulagu. The average income tax rate is 72.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Benetien economy, worth 68.6 trillion Benetien Graínes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 83,564 Benetien Graínes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Commuters travel in zigzags to avoid stalking accusations, the nation is stuck in permanent election mode as politicians demand constant do-overs, nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, and citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Beneti's national animal is the Macaw, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Beneti is ranked 13,725^th in the world and 397^th in the South Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 27.89 average smiles per day.
