The Germanic Democracy of Belned is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by None with an even hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, keen interest in outer space, and national health service. The compassionate population of 8.487 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 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 79.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Belnedian economy, worth a remarkable 1,136 trillion Crown franks a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 133,920 Crown franks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Money that should have gone to charities is instead spent on monitoring them, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, job security isn't great for professional roulette players, and older citizens lament over the loss of law and order. 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 171,626th in the world and 15th in Saeculum Obscurum for Most Stationary, with 95.43381392232 days.
