The Incorporated States of Bellerophon is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Durran Haymer with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 11.6 billion Bellerophonians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, although Defense and Administration are also considered important, while Welfare and Environment are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Bellerophonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,926 trillion Alliance Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 166,085 Alliance Credits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,524,845 per year while the poor average 1,891, a ratio of 806 to 1.

One lone government employee can be seen hunting for the elusive stray white dog, it's illegal to exterminate cockroaches, people who stay late at the office often come home to find their own funeral being planned, and the space program has been reduced to Durran Haymer's nephew playing with a cardboard space shuttle. Crime is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Bellerophon's national animal is the Pegasus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Bellerophon is ranked 21,938^th in the world and 3^rd in Union of Allied Planets for Most Corrupt Governments, with 93.74 kickbacks per hour.
