The Republic of Saint Belmar III is a massive, safe nation, notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 1.413 billion Saint Belmar IIIians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 41.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Saint Belmar IIIian economy, worth 62.5 trillion lire a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Gambling. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,249 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A ban on unsolicited cold calling in all forms is in effect, the government advises foreign diplomats to speak softly and carry a big bag of cash, the people consider response to rudeness to be an acceptable casus belli, and sex offenders find themselves cut off from the ability to repeat their crimes. 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 III's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Saint Belmar III is ranked 262,838^th in the world and 50^th in NATO 2022 for Most Extreme, scoring 8.94 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
