The Oppressed Peoples of Belfast META is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.403 billion Belfast METAians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 23.3%.

The Belfast METAian economy, worth 206 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is 46,842 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Out-of-work actors say they can't complain, members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods, soldiers with colourful mohawks make themselves perfect targets for snipers, and droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Belfast META's national animal is the Kitsune, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Belfast META is ranked 116,135^th in the world and 3^rd in Hyogo for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,835.28 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
