The People's Republic of Belfastee is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, daily referendums, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 804 million Belfasteeans enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The large, moralistic, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 63.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Belfasteean economy, worth 33.8 trillion Kronor a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,042 Kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientific journals publish third-graders' school essays, power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky, kids these days know how to throw a proper punch, and water fights now end with thousands dead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Belfastee's national animal is the Cow.

Belfastee is ranked 254,486^th in the world and 252^nd in The Amaranthine Isles for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 15,177.39 Standard Monetary Units.
