“Athens - Byzantium - Constantinople”

The Hellenic Empire of BG of 01 ERE Alliance is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Alexander of Byzantine Glory with a fair hand, and renowned for its devotion to social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 4.153 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Information Technology and Book Publishing.

Corporate lobbying has been outlawed, heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste, only fully-fledged members of MENSA are allowed to vote, and an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BG of 01 ERE Alliance's national animal is the bicephalus eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the solidus.

BG of 01 ERE Alliance is ranked 4th in the region and 2,140th in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.
