The Empire of Belleroph is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Callisto with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, complete lack of prisons, and frequent executions. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.945 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."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it prioritizes Education, although Administration, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Defense and Spirituality receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 95.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Bellerophian economy, worth 181 trillion Pegasus Coins a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 93,408 Pegasus Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Belleroph successfully hosted the the Pacific Olympics, graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation', adulthood begins with the creation of an email account, and the banhammer is a standard police sidearm. 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 72,530th in the world and 539th in the Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 22.9 flags saluted per person per day.
