The People's Republic of Belamyra is a gargantuan, cultured nation, notable for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 11.94 billion Belamyrans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yunnan. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Belamyran economy, worth a remarkable 1,522 trillion Scales a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 127,543 Scales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

School uniforms are compulsory, a government program is underway to revitalize Belamyra's beaches, the nation turns a blind eye to human rights abuses in its quest for athletic supremacy, and the nation is wading into dangerous waters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Belamyra's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Belamyra is ranked 48,677^th in the world and 1,747^th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 51.48 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
