The Commonwealth of Beltareich is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, aversion to nipples, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 539 million beltians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Law & Order, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperia. The average income tax rate is 69.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Beltareichian economy, worth 41.2 trillion pounds a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,427 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, cub scouts are being asked to hand in their woggles as the state withdraws funding for scouting, and citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Beltareich's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Beltareich is ranked 33,183^rd in the world and 5^th in 0000 for Most Patriotic, with 36.34 flags saluted per person per day.
