Overview

The Nomadc Peoples of Benjaminton is a tiny, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. Its compassionate population of 6 million enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass -- juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Social Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 47%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing.

Voting is voluntary. Crime is relatively low. Benjaminton's national animal is the Wildebeest , which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Ducket.

Benjaminton is ranked 1st in the region and 75,680th in the world for Largest Nations.
