The Federal Republic of Belarum is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Evan Burke with a fair hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 14.188 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

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 27%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Police conduct weekly raids looking for contraband cheeseburgers, anti-government web sites are springing up, all-natural foods are becoming a major fad, and citizens must pay to enjoy Belarum's pristine beaches. 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 5th in European Union and 1,923rd in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 8 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
