The Gymanwlad Sosialaidd of Beth Gellert is a titanic, efficient nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic, cheerful population of 10.376 billion Beddgelens, 9.876 billion of whom are zombies, are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Social Policy, Defense, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Portmeirion. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Beddgelen economy, worth an astonishing 15,318 trillion gwarthegions a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 301,146 gwarthegions, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

One does not simply walk into the tundra, kids' party bags often contain candy and e-cigarettes, body doubles and armed bodyguards escort witnesses to and from courtrooms, and the nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Beth Gellert's national animal is the kan-gel, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Beth Gellert is ranked 859th in the world and 4th in A Modern World for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 4,998.96 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
