The Federation of Beldia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by tommot with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, hatred of cheese, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 28.79 billion Beldians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beldis. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.

The powerhouse Beldian economy, worth a remarkable 4,447 trillion beldits a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 154,490 beldits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Self-driving cars obey the road rules even during emergencies, political scientists despair as the national mascot election eclipses all others in voter enthusiasm, the Beldian Arts Council pays teenagers to sit through opera performances, and there has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Beldia's national animal is the scorpion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Multinism.

Beldia is ranked 288,843^rd in the world and 11,116^th in Balder for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -21.67 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
