The Federal Republic of Bellemer is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 201 million Bellemerois hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.0%.

The strong Bellemerois economy, worth 14.2 trillion Nones a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 70,573 Nones, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Punitive tariffs protect local industry, the number of students attending university has reached a record high, the government is slowly introducing social welfare programs, and owning a really cute pet is grounds for immediate investigation. Crime is relatively low. Bellemer's national animal is the None, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Bellemer is ranked 6,255^th in the world and 2^nd in The Scrapyard for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 6,312.48 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
