Belgravica

Population248 million

The Commonwealth of Belgravica is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 248 million Belgravicans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 66.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Belgravican economy, worth 13.9 trillion grazzoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 56,032 grazzoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Streakers swamp all public events in order to bare it all, cricket farmers use magnifying glasses to fit every member of their herd with tiny tracking tags, teenagers sit around on their butts all day, and conspiracy theorists allege that the government is spying on them through their carbon monoxide detectors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Belgravica's national animal is the silver gull, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Belgravica is ranked 26,553rd in the world and 253rd in Europeia for Safest, scoring 110.46 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
