The Astral Knight of Belleroph is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Callisto with an iron fist, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, zero percent divorce rate, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 5.801 billion Bellerophans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Education, although Law & Order, Industry, and Environment are also considered important, while Defense receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Flanaca. The average income tax rate is 99.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Bellerophian economy, worth a remarkable 1,008 trillion Pegasus Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 173,814 Pegasus Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Bellerophian government claim that Bellerophans are oppressed out of love, orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, and small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Belleroph's national animal is the Pegasus, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Pegasus Worship.

Belleroph is ranked 318,967^th in the world and 13^th in Solstice for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -10.24 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
