The United Socialist States of Belmara is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 21.429 billion Belmarans 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 Welfare, although Education, Healthcare, and Social Policy are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. The average income tax rate is 69.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient Belmaran economy, worth 696 trillion Belmaran dollars 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 led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Average income is 32,513 Belmaran dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The tenet of free speech is held dear, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, all-natural foods are becoming a major fad, and 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Belmara's radio stations. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Belmara's national animal is the Belmaran dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Belmara is ranked 5,644th in the world and 19th in Union of Free Nations for Most Stationary, with 3,042.66471936 days.
