The Asteroid of Baellor is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by High Septon Aster with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.802 billion Baellorians are prohibited from doing almost everything but make sure no one in government gets away with anything either.

The medium-sized, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Welfare, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seven's Landing. The average income tax rate is 40.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Baellorian economy, worth 95.8 trillion meteoriteses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 53,171 meteoriteses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Most households' childcare costs are higher than their mortgage payments, senior executives have become freelance basket-weavers in search of less stress and better work-life balance, Faith of the Asteroid has been named as Baellor's national religion, and the act of reporting blasphemy is known as 'Orthodoxxing'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Baellor's national animal is the Ceres, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Faith of the Asteroid.

Baellor is ranked 114,925^th in the world and 1^st in Asteroid Belt for Largest Black Market, with 1.99 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
