The Commonwealth of Beltareich is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its aversion to nipples, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 402 million beltians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Law & Order, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperia. The average income tax rate is 67.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Beltareichian economy, worth 29.0 trillion pounds a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 72,168 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sneezing pedestrians are grabbed by alley-lurking doctors, protests are legal but strictly supervised, the once prosperous capital is in utter decline, and the family summer vacation has become a thing of the past following the introduction of the year-round school year. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Beltareich's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Beltareich is ranked 35,806th in the world and 9th in 0000 for Lowest Crime Rates, with 79.71 law-abiding acts per hour.
