The Parliamentary Republic of United Beltonia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Pedro González with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, devout population of 5.037 billion Beltonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Varskograd. The average income tax rate is 74.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Beltonian economy, worth 843 trillion Bel'tonskiy Rubls a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 167,379 Bel'tonskiy Rubls, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Chickens roam the streets freely, multilingual concierges man empty inner city apartment blocks, when shaking hands with foreign leaders Pedro González wears an armoured gauntlet, and anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United Beltonia's national animal is the Beltonian Eland, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Nondenominational Christianity.

United Beltonia is ranked 10,801^st in the world and 671^st in Lazarus for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,512.71 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
