The Multi-Faceted Mirror Mage of Eastern Bel Smodej is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its smutty television, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.172 billion Eastern Bel Smodejians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 73.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Eastern Bel Smodejian economy, worth a remarkable 1,106 trillion Love Letters a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 135,454 Love Letters, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims, bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins, government buildings are being cleansed of anything that might have racist connotations, and motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eastern Bel Smodej's national animal is the Floating Gardenia, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Eastern Bel Smodej is ranked 203,902^nd in the world and 1^st in Smodeja for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3.61 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
