The United Socialist States of Belrady is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Kyle with a fair hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 991 million Belradyians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 89.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Belradyian economy, worth 95.9 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is 96,767 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Listless juries are assembled for the simplest of court cases, the nation faces constant invasions by foreign boy bands, the mood of raunchy movies is often ruined by the sound of babies crying, and the government has spent days debating the merits of a petition calling for a ban on sporks. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Belrady's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Belrady is ranked 6,083^rd in the world and 13^th in Commonwealth of Liberty for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 58.65 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
