The People's Republic of Belgorood is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 209 million Belgoroodians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 21.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Belgoroodian economy, worth 13.9 trillion hryvnias a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is 66,646 hryvnias, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Business ambassadors offer bong tokes to foreign leaders, the populace lives in fear of painful execution for minor offences, grinning punters say that casino roulette is the greatest high that life has to offer, and all streets are privately owned toll roads. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Belgorood's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Belgorood is ranked 110,534^th in the world and 216^th in Talonia for Most Patriotic, with 14.07 flags saluted per person per day.
