The Frozen Northern Wastes of Empire of Beldemark is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Matthew M Strudel with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate population of 8.721 billion Beldemarkians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fviserwinterland. The average income tax rate is 85.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Beldemarkian economy, worth a remarkable 1,494 trillion Marlics a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 171,347 Marlics, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition, the possibility of gain causes universal pain, and the masses are surrendering their civil liberties without complaint for the sake of shopping convenience. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Empire of Beldemark's national animal is the Arctic Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Deusism.

Empire of Beldemark is ranked 33,981st in the world and 299th in the Pacific for Most Stationary, with 1,299.14345326988 days.
