The Eternal Serene Republic of Beiluxia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by His Eternal President Mister Smiles with a fair hand, and renowned for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 3.964 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, liberal, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although Healthcare and Social Welfare are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lovers-by-the-bay. The average income tax rate is 68%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, bizarre-looking creatures called 'Happy-Panda-Bear-Sunshinedogs' dominate wildlife preserves, euthanasia is legal, and the arms industry is strictly regulated. 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 1,063rd in 10000 Islands and 31,685th in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 15 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
