The Republic of Belyakinsky is a huge, genial nation, notable for its frequent executions, daily referendums, and suspicion of poets. The cynical, devout population of 942 million Belyakinskyians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 73.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Belyakinskyian economy, worth 91.8 trillion Ducats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 97,470 Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Judicial robes are the country's hottest fashion trend, it's widely agreed that to tennis players love means nothing, soldiers on first dates introduce themselves only by their ranks and serial numbers, and nothing gets the party jumping like Leader specifying how high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Belyakinsky's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Belyakinsky is ranked 250,701st in the world and 391st in Novaya Zemlya for Largest Populations, with 942 million capita.
