The Autonomous Colony of Beloura is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by First Minister João Gonçalves with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 12.926 billion Belourans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leiria. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Belouran economy, worth a remarkable 1,933 trillion Belouran Cruzadoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 149,588 Belouran Cruzadoes, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

A recent political speech drew the ire of nerds everywhere after the speaker claimed that Darth Vader was Harry Potter's father, the government has instituted 'traveller reservations' across the country, pranking is an art form, and political shows are fit for purpose. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Beloura's national animal is the Cão de Fila de São Miguel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Progressive Christianity.

Beloura is ranked 106,146^th in the world and 328^th in Europe for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,139.14 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
