The People's Federation of Belshekistan is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Vladimir Yeltsini with an iron fist, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, compulsory military service, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 14.12 billion Northern Eurasians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moscow. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Northern Eurasian economy, worth a remarkable 4,142 trillion Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 293,362 Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children have nightmares about the eerie red glow and constant whirring of newly-installed machines, handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, pet owners make sure their dogs wear diapers, and farmers sing lullabies to soothe their livestock to sleep. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Belshekistan's national animal is the Russian Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Belshekistan is ranked 8,609th in the world and 474th in Osiris for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 11,968.01 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
