The Queen's Unified Land of Doux Belsh is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Her Majesty's Court with an iron fist, and notable for its daily referendums, pith helmet sales, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 1.431 billion Belshians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Nimana. The average income tax rate is 81.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Doux Belshian economy, worth 219 trillion Belshian pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 153,391 Belshian pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The installation of street lights across remote goat tracks has left citizens bemused, former strategic allies are threatening annihilation to Doux Belsh for reneging on weapons supply contracts, the police think a properly conducted criminal investigation is a real pain, and international trade can be a pain to deal with. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Doux Belsh's national animal is the Belshian fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Her Majesty's Mandate.

Doux Belsh is ranked 8,131^st in the world and 17^th in The Frontier Sea for Most Developed, scoring 91.84 on the Human Development Index.
