The Post-capitalist Market of Belladone is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Federal Government with an even hand, and notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, anti-smoking policies, and national health service. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 5.321 billion Communards have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rosa's Commune. The average income tax rate is 89.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Communard economy, worth 743 trillion Francs a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 139,728 Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, the team in charge of creating a new writing system have spent months deciding whether or not to use serif or sans-serif characters, light entertainment isn't dead, and no one born in Belladone can fix a leaky faucet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Belladone's national animal is the Dolphin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is None.

Belladone is ranked 281,858^th in the world and 299^th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -11.58 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
