The Frozen Northern Wastes of Empire of Beldemark is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Matthew M Strudel with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 8.665 billion Beldemarkians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fviserwinterland. The average income tax rate is 83.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Beldemarkian economy, worth a remarkable 1,487 trillion Marlics a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 171,622 Marlics, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Community-designed sword prostheses are becoming dangerously common, a politician who is photographed pulling a funny face while eating can say goodbye to their credibility, the government keeps its thumb on the scales of justice, and airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Empire of Beldemark's national animal is the Arctic Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Deusism.
Empire of Beldemark is ranked 4,661st in the world and 127th in the Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 118.05 law-abiding acts per hour.
