The strong Bennett Republician economy, worth 6.35 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 65,487 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, euthanasia is legal, and the police force is on a recruitment drive. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Bennett Republic's national animal is the Dachshund.
