The Germanic Democracy of Belned is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by None with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 6.723 billion Belnedians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New-Antwerp. The average income tax rate is 75.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Belnedian economy, worth 888 trillion Crown franks a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 132,088 Crown franks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Attempts to inform people about their unclaimed property are often mistaken for telephone scams, regional governors use national law books as toilet paper, the government has instituted 'traveller reservations' across the country, and everyone has the equal opportunity to have their wallet stolen. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Belned's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Unreligious.

Belned is ranked 62,256th in the world and 8th in Saeculum Obscurum for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,762.12 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
