The Federal Republic of Belarum is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Evan Burke with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 13.571 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Commerce, and Defence. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bastia. The average income tax rate is 30%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Tourists outnumber citizens two to one, mobile phone masts are being erected all over the country, CEOs and corporate executives are frequently found striking for better stock options, and urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffeur-driven limousines. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Belarum's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Euro.

Belarum is ranked 115th in European Union and 84,983rd in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring -39 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
