The People's Republic of Soviet Belfast is a very large, genial nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 127 million Soviet Belfastians 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 Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 65.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Soviet Belfastian economy, worth 6.03 trillion Connollies a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,476 Connollies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Third party candidates are now gaining some representation in Parliament, Soviet Belfastians are regularly fired for looking at MyFace during their lunch breaks, every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government, and heartfelt sentiments are mercilessly marketed by a million-Connolly treacle machine. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soviet Belfast's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Soviet Belfast is ranked 284,577^th in the world and 1,238^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -14.07 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
