The Eternal Serene Republic of Beiluxia is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by His Eternal President Mister Smiles with a fair hand, and renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 4.12 billion are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although Healthcare and the Environment are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lovers-by-the-bay. The average income tax rate is 69%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Beiluxia's radio stations, space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, abortions are routinely performed in Beiluxia's hospitals, and voting is voluntary. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Beiluxia's national animal is the Happy-Panda-Bear-Sunshine, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Smileyface.

Beiluxia is ranked 100th in 10000 Islands and 615th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 198 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
