The Benjamese Empire (or BenEm for short)is the collective name for all the areas BenjaminBsuper and his crew use to build their cities on, it is to prevent bad area planning, griefbuilds and inactive player houses.
Areas
Areas, which are the part of the Benjamese Empire:
Batavia
Batavia is a name for BenEm mainland, it is a place, where the most of BenEm activity happens:
BenjaminStad (Capital City) - The historical and biggest centre of BenEm. Highly urbanised.
KSCity - Once, it was a competitor of BenjaminStad, but, after 
KSLife became inactive and sold the town to BenjaminBsuper, the activity of town halted. Now, the town is being repurposed, since it has a lot of useful space.
Isfiskholt - One of 
hprick's experimental towns. An old and small town, engulfed by the growth of BenEm. Isfiskholt used to have a more remote feel to it.
Tussenstad - The second largest city in Batavia, which is having a rare case of having 3 leaders (
IvanLeshev, hprick and 
Appelsaus_) at same time. Second most urbanised place of BenEm.
TwanStad - A rare case - a claimed territory without any residential buildings is a town.
Merchilles - Despite it's size, this town lives with a status of Batavia's architecture centre. Located in the desert outback of Batavia.
Exclaves
Those enclaves started to appear, when more and more people joined BenEm:
Grifftopia - This major architecture centre is having a unique system of "poor" and "rich" districts.
Greenhaven Village - Despite being a separate town, this town with sad history is a part of Grifftopia's area.
Berghpas - A town, which stayed on paper.
Nieuw Inverness - This town is having a strange case of BenjaminBsuper getting town ownership from a banned player through another person.
Snaketown - Another BenEm centre on Forrrest, despite being very far from Batavia. Most active town of the Forrrest agglomeration.
Pallet Town - This town is having a very messy layout, but attracted an attention, thanks to being mostly residential.
Gelderburg - A plan, which is being done by Appelsaus_
Numington Town - Earlier centre of Forrrest activity, which is inactive for now.
Silver Lake - This town is very unique, because it successfully attracted people during player invasions.
New Snak City - 
snakyman's new city, which is situated on corrupted chunks.
Sandmore - A town founded by 
Slimey345 and 
kittyfreak500.

Infrastructure
The Benjamese Empire is well known for its underground and aquatic infrastructure: the BenEm leaders, especially IvanLeshev, BenjaminBsuper and hprick put a lot of work in to ease personal transport through the BenEm area.
Tunnels
A tunnel to cut time off the Boat Route from Enjoku Route to the BenEm junction: this tunnel, built by IvanLeshev and hprick, cuts right through a hill to prevent issues with the nearby private property. The tunnel is 5 meter wide. It's decorated with the colors of the BenjaminStad flag and lighted with redstone torches.
Another tunnel to cut time off the boat route. It's a lot shorter than Ginza Tunnel and unlike Ginza it's built on an askew line. It's directly followed by a canal inbetween two hills. Decorated with spruce wood and lighted by redstone torches. Also built by hprick and IvanLeshev.
A tunnel for pedestrians to connect North Tussenstad with South Tussenstad. It crosses right under Lake Vesitäysi, effectively keeping the lake open. Decorated with white stained clay. Yet another TSE (TussenStad Enterprises) project from IvanLeshev and hprick.
- BenjaminStad Tunnel System
A pedestrian subway system to make different parts of BenjaminStad accessible. This tunnel system is still being expanded, BenjaminBsuper being the main person working on it.
- Fraffyard Canal
A tiny canal tunnel connecting Sugarcane Shores to lake Vesitäysi.
Canals
An important part of the boat route are ice canals, without these, boat travel to the BenEm junction would be impossible.
- Northern Canal
This is the biggest canal of the BenEm boat route. It cuts right through a giant ice lake. Mainly built by BenjaminBsuper.
- Southern Canal
Made by hprick and BenjaminBsuper, this is the second biggest canal, which also cuts through ice. This canal cuts through a giant ice lake to go straight to the BenjaminStad harbour, to connect to the next canal system:
- BenjaminStad Harbour Canal
This canal, built by BenjaminBsuper, connects the harbour to the inner lake of North Tussenstad and the Sugarcane Shores park, directly to connect to the Fraffyard tunnel.
Bridges and boardwalks
Crossing water is important. When it's not done with a tunnel, like the Trans-Vesitäysi Tunnel, it's done with a bridge.
- Banshee Boardwalk
An experimental build by hprick: an elevated walkway parallel to the wall of an ancient castle. This walkway is a part of the road from Tussenstad to the nearby Nexus hub. Named after a Mario Kart track.
- Snaketown - New Snak City Bridge
This bridge connects Forrrest and Snaketown to New Snak City and the rest of mainland Freedonia.
Railways
Tussenstad has several private and public railways in progress, check out the Tussenstad wiki page for more information.
Misc Purpose Systems
North Tussenstad has a functional sewer system, built by hprick with help from IvanLeshev. Every big building in North Tussenstad is connected to it.
History
Beginning
History of Benjamese Empire starts with founding of KSCity and giant growth of BenjaminStad. These 2 cities created Benjamese Empire after they allied. One of the earliest Benjamese Empire newcomers was hprick, who founded Isfiskholt.
Ivan Joins
After quitting Clifftonville and time of simple existence, one of most important members of Benjamese Empire, IvanLeshev with help of BenjaminBsuper, decided to urbanise north wilderness of Benjamese Empire with founding of Tussenstad. Despite being bored, Ivan invited hprick and Appelsaus_ into his town. Thanks to this new powerful friendship, they did many Benjamese Empire projects. In addition to that, Appelsaus_ became part Benjamese Empire staff.
Many Connected Territories
Suddenly, 
KevinGriffioen and 
Ladebbie got into Benjamese Empire's side. With this, Greenhaven Village and Grifftopia are part of Benjamese Empire. Benjamin's friendship with 
NHC_THK also added some land, when NHC_THK sold Nieuw Inverness to Benjamin.
The Outer Expansion
The empty lands, near the desert and over the icy plains are good terrains to build, with 
Mer28 and 
Andrey_orex starting their towns there, the BenEm expanded again, this time forming Merchilles and Berghpas.
Tourist Attraction
With the Benjamese Empire becoming more and more popular, people want to visit the cities. With the new Nexus connection, North-West (Purple) 3, visitors can enter the BenEm much faster. There are many tourist attractions in BenEm. A few examples are:
- BenjaminStad: The many enormous builds like the Twin Towers and the creation site of the future Government Seat.
- KSCity: Stone Hotel and the underground farms as well as a huge open area for ice skating.
- Isfiskholt: The idyllic houses on poles.
- Tussenstad: Zen Park, The Cave of a Thousand Spooks, Mobville and other fascinating sites, which are accessible by the Intracity Train Network, which connects to the Intercity Railways for rails to other towns.
- Grifftopia: A beautiful medieval village with an abundance of top notch architecture.
- TwanStad: A fast growing town with huge towers and detailed builds.
- Merchilles: Another prime example of stunning architecture.
- Greenhaven Village: Interesting transformation from former ghost-town to active city.
- Berghpas: This town isn't finished yet.
- Nieuw Inverness: A water pyramid.
- Snaketown: One of the biggest player statues ever, Snaketown Arena, and Covenant.
- Pallet Town: Giant residential builds.
- Gelderburg: This town isn't finished yet.
- Numington Town: A very diverse town, with a futuristic and ambitious highway project.
Diplomatic Disorder
KS_Life was last seen on the 14th of december, 2017. His town KSCity was the biggest internal competition for BenjaminStad after Tussenstad, but it used to be even bigger competition in comparison to BenjaminStad. However, with KS_Life gone, BenjaminBsuper bought the town from him. At the time of writing (april 2018), BenEm Leaders BenjaminBsuper, IvanLeshev, hprick and Appelsaus_ are still discussing what to do with the blank territory. BenjaminBsuper sees a future for high-end housing for important BenEm residents, while hprick sees a future in it as a military practice ground. There might even be plans for a PvP stadium, as hprick proposed.
On 15 april 2018, hprick proposed to administratively divide Tussenstad, since the north and south part of the town, divided by Lake Vesitäysi, are very different in architecture, economy, infrastructure, purpose and so on (for example: South TS is less focused on hospitality). However, he quickly decided to stop the process because of the administrative hardship it would bring; the two parts of Tussenstad would have to be split between the three mayors IvanLeshev, hprick and Appelsaus_. Also, the wiki would have to be split up, which would be a lot of work, since Tussenstad has one of the largest wiki pages of any city in Freedonia.
International conflicts
In may 2018, a small town named Lemonaid Town appeared next to Snaketown. Lemonaid actively blocks off Snaketown, acts aggressively to the Snaketown leaders and the Lemonaid leader wasn't prepared to talk to snakyman, so Snaketown saw this as an act of aggression. The leaders of the Empire have not yet decided to take action against Lemonaid Town. The issue Lemonaid is one of the first conflicts the Benjamese Empire has got involved in.
1posa1 founded the New American Empire on the 17th of may, 2018, as a countermeasure to BenEm. Our leaders have not decided what to do with it.

BenEm Meeting Center
The BenEm Meeting Center at Snaketown is a facility in Snaketown with a room for every BenEm staff member (as of 1/15/17). It functions as a meeting centre, embassy and general place for leaders to hang out. There is a large dome above the common room, and a meeting room. It is nicknamed Shatlantis because it is governed by BenjaminBsuper who has IBS (also because when making the dome it looked like there was poop all over it - see image below).
