The ðŸ of Saint Belmar II is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by me with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, free-roaming dinosaurs, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.167 billion Belmari's are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ding City. The average income tax rate is 70.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Belmari economy, worth 264 trillion Nationstates Standard Crellars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 122,197 Nationstates Standard Crellars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, copies of the constitution are used as toilet paper, and brave curators do battle with disorganised government libraries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saint Belmar II's national animal is the squid, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Surgery.

Saint Belmar II is ranked 22,818th in the world and 2nd in Ding Ding Dong for Most Patriotic, with 50.34 flags saluted per person per day.
