The Glorious Republic of Mostly Benevolent is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Pinky and The Brain with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 28.623 billion Mostly Benevolentians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oompa Loompa. The average income tax rate is 72.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Mostly Benevolentian economy, worth a remarkable 2,190 trillion Pooingtons a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,531 Pooingtons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Human resources employees have time for hobbies as harassment is designated "high praise", commuters and their desktops both bemoan their hard drives, weekly religious services often resemble campaign rallies, and Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mostly Benevolent's national animal is the Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mostly Benevolent is ranked 268,621st in the world and 9,709th in Balder for Most Primitive, scoring -233.89 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
