The Constitutional Monarchy of New Belia is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Leader Harwell with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 20.256 billion New Belians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Belia City. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The frighteningly efficient New Belian economy, worth a remarkable 4,629 trillion Marks a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 228,551 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Museum visitors often bring lemons and black lights, the government is notorious for leaving citizens with almost nothing from their inheritance, calls to prayer are the newest dog whistles, and teenage TV characters are played by thirty-year-olds by the end of the second season. Crime is totally unknown. New Belia's national animal is the cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Belia is ranked 307,428^th in the world and 2,671^st in the West Pacific for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring -31.14 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
