The Hand Puppet of Beelzenef is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Nekozawa with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, deadly medical pandemics, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 18.919 billion Beelzenefians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ouran. The average income tax rate is 2.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Beelzenefian economy, worth a remarkable 5,730 trillion curse dolls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Retail and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 302,876 curse dolls, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Society is now confronted with the problem of the mage gap, state media features lively debates such as whether pineapple on pizza is an acceptable topping, the new 'Who Wants To Be A Politician' election debate auditions are more popular than the debates themselves, and tightly packed choir-boys sing the god-given joys of heterosexuality on public transport. Crime is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Beelzenef's national animal is the cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Dark Magic.

Beelzenef is ranked 5,045^th in the world and 1^st in Strawberry Hill for Largest Black Market, with 1,748 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
