The Ukrainian Ally of Belvanski is a massive, genial nation, ruled by King Andrei Oniski III with a fair hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, ban on automobiles, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.095 billion Belvanians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karstilov. The average income tax rate is 80.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Belvanian economy, worth 74.7 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 68,229 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

King Andrei Oniski III has just been declared ruler of Belvanski in an international press conference, Belvanski's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, engineers ask liberal arts majors "Do you want fries with that?", and the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Belvanski's national animal is the Eurasian Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Belvanski is ranked 88,592^nd in the world and 694^th in Europe for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 74.67 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
