The Kingdom of Belvanya is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its national health service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 393 million Belvanians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 53.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Belvanian economy, worth 10.8 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 27,472 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

School children asked "what is two times two?" are likely to form a symposium to discuss how different answers make them feel, the arms industry is strictly regulated, wildlife have trouble navigating the electric fences surrounding national forests, and the government's new 'Crime Can Fight Itself' policy appears to be backfiring rather badly. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Belvanya's national animal is the Roe deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Belvanya is ranked 20,199^th in the world and 79^th in Europe for Most Primitive, scoring 80.05 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
