The Republic of Belepar is a very large, efficient nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, complete lack of prisons, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 189 million Beleparians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 37.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Beleparian economy, worth 18.0 trillion Bronze toes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 95,035 Bronze toes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Children grow up long before the paperwork for their lemonade stands can be sorted out, politicians have seen a significant reduction in followers on their social media accounts, pet loving officers arrest citizens who don't give their dogs enough biscuits, and the tinfoil-hat crowd also recommend tinfoil wallets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Belepar's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Belepar is ranked 72,401^st in the world and 77^th in Psychotic Dictatorships for Most Patriotic, with 22.96 flags saluted per person per day.
