The Esteemed Friends of Bellepi is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Lady Lilypad with an even hand, and renowned for its lack of airports, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 4.799 billion Bellepians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jadekit. The average income tax rate is 95.9%.

The large but sluggish Bellepian economy, worth 244 trillion Miaows a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 50,958 Miaows, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The national anthem's only purpose is to inflate Lady Lilypad's ever-expanding ego, loudmouthed journalists are given the chop, the Widdle Cats of Bellepi are surprisingly well-adjusted, and savvy students quote paywalled research knowing that university lecturers can't afford to check the citations. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bellepi's national animal is the Widdle Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Deism.

Bellepi is ranked 290,519^th in the world and 325^th in Wintreath for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -33.18 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
