The Federal Republic of Belel is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Federal Council with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.048 billion Belelians 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gomo. The average income tax rate is 82.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Belelian economy, worth 114 trillion guilders a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 28,179 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

For 25 guilders tourists can gawk at the site of national tragedy, RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept, teenagers are told they're not thinking about sex enough, and new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Belel to be bombproof. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Belel's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Belel is ranked 241,023^rd in the world and 7,894^th in Balder for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -13.56 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
