The Federated Societies of Belius is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by President Ferro Pugni with an even hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, vat-grown people, and labour-free parental leave. The compassionate population of 5.791 billion Belusians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Irena. The average income tax rate is 88.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Belusian economy, worth 744 trillion bels 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 128,568 bels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government regularly publishes lengthy reports on its own excessive recordkeeping, the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, in musicals everybody's a little bit racist, and the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Belius's national animal is the kea, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Belius is ranked 24,270th in the world and 359th in Europe for Most Secular, with 44.85 Atheism Rate.
