The Holy Empire of Belgioca is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Xander von Bubbanburg with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.082 billion Belgiociuans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bubbanburg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Belgiocuan economy, worth 110 trillion Belgioks a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 101,987 Belgioks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 332,287 per year while the poor average 23,565, a ratio of 14.1 to 1.

Students who do not recite the national anthem each morning have to drop and give their teacher 50, toddlers are wielding machine guns in the name of national defense, Christianity has been named as Belgioca's national religion, and animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Belgioca's national animal is the Black striped tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Belgioca is ranked 289,264th in the world and 5,529th in The North Pacific for Highest Workforce Participation Rate, with 46.88 Workforce Participation Rate.
