The Free Land of Belkanistan is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its frequent executions, infamous sell-swords, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 545 million Belkanistanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Harmony. The average income tax rate is 26.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Belkanistanian economy, worth 39.3 trillion Patrons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 72,129 Patrons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Many aides in Leader's office are known to be serial jaywalkers, the national sporting identity is represented by a talking burger and a singing smartphone, statistics show that terrorists often come from broken families, and it is mandatory to learn evolution in schools. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Belkanistan's national animal is the Red Panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Belkanistan is ranked 96,284^th in the world and 392^nd in Concord for Safest, scoring 83.47 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
