The Republic of Bellarmine

“Twirling Toward Freedom”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Bellarmine is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, keen interest in outer space, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.04 billion Bellarmineans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.6%.

The very strong Bellarminean economy, worth 87.2 trillion lire a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 42,722 lire, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 202,703 per year while the poor average 5,313, a ratio of 38.1 to 1.

Leader has just been declared ruler of Bellarmine in an international press conference, a major religion has been named as Bellarmine's national religion, school teachers check the staff room for hidden webcams before complaining about rebellious students, and treason is relative. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Bellarmine's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bellarmine is ranked 311,004^th in the world and 10^th in Society of Jesus for Largest Governments, scoring 5.39 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
