The Queen's State of Belding is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical population of 23.087 billion Beldingians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 75.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Beldingian economy, worth 288 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Average income is 12,492 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elections have been outlawed, organ donation is compulsory, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, and citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Belding's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Belding is ranked 46,658th in the world and 8th in Maseru for Most Stationary, with 938.33316335528 days.
