The Federal Republic of Belarum is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Evan Burke with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 37.98 billion Belarians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The relatively small, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Industry, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bastia. The average income tax rate is 73.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Belarian economy, worth an astonishing 10,750 trillion euros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 283,053 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Offering a builder a cup of tea is a legal minefield, there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, and scientific journals publish third-graders' school essays. Crime is totally unknown. Belarum's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Belarum is ranked 6,133^rd in the world and 7^th in European Union for Lowest Crime Rates, with 111.6 law-abiding acts per hour.
