The Germanic Democracy of Belned is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by None with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 8.656 billion Belnedians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New-Antwerp. The average income tax rate is 78.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Belnedian economy, worth a remarkable 1,201 trillion Crown franks a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 138,835 Crown franks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.
Janitors and factory workers are often better educated than the bosses they work for, pet loving officers arrest citizens who don't give their dogs enough biscuits, the tightness of border controls in Belned leave a little to be desired, and one year's corporation tax from three international megacorporations has funded one dozen shiny black pencils for None's office. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Belned's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Unreligious.
Belned is ranked 22,451st in the world and 10th in Saeculum Obscurum for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 7,569.73 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
