The Socialist Republic of Bellau is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by General Secretary Ford with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, humorless population of 1.948 billion Bellaunians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Prospérité. The average income tax rate is 68.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bellauan economy, worth 230 trillion Deneris a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 118,336 Deneris, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The local custom of Biking With The Cars sends tourists home bemused or in body-bags, the nation's politicians are known more for the internet memes they spawn than any of their accomplishments, the road to capitalism has proved an epic drama of adventure and exploration, and diplomacy is a foreign concept to Bellaunians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Bellau's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Bellau is ranked 21,969^th in the world and 528^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Beautiful Environments, with 972.35 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
