Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Holy Green Federal Republic of Belrovia is a massive, devout nation, ruled by Peter Shire with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.296 billion are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, pro-business individuals juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Religion & Spirituality, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, and Automobile Manufacturing industries.

Children are regularly married to each other to secure business deals between families, children are raised bilingual from an early age, protests are illegal, and the government has declared its commitment to multilateralism. Crime is moderate. Belrovia's national animal is the Kratze Hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is a major religion, and its currency is the Belrovian Klor.

Belrovia is ranked 1st in Biafra and 34,883rd in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
