The Volsung Guild Democracy of Belaa is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Cale Hernimus with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, complete lack of prisons, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed population of 1.057 billion Belaans 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 medium-sized government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Spirituality, and Law & Order also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Calumet City. The average income tax rate is 21.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Belaan economy, worth 46.7 trillion Catels a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,195 Catels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The nation has nearly as many history museums as Belaans, New Nordic has been named as Belaa's national religion, politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, and newspapers cannot report anything about politicians without their explicit consent. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Belaa's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is New Nordic.

Belaa is ranked 154,547^th in the world and 6^th in Scandorid Continent for Lowest Crime Rates, with 61.55 law-abiding acts per hour.
