The Chaotic City of Beleartis is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by GLORIOUS LEADER BELEAR with an iron fist, and renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, enslaved workforce, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 17.02 billion Beleartisians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beleartis City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.0%.

The Beleartisian economy, worth 960 trillion Namarts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 56,424 Namarts, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 188,362 per year while the poor average 12,576, a ratio of 15.0 to 1.

Families are only permitted to have one child, fashion magazine covers finally display realistic body images following photo-manipulation becoming illegal, teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, and jails have become colloquially known as 'vampire houses'. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Beleartis's national animal is the Fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cult of Belear.

Beleartis is ranked 207,587th in the world and 4,327th in the South Pacific for Safest, scoring 35.42 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
