The Queen's Unified Land of Doux Belsh is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Her Majesty's Court with an iron fist, and renowned for its digital currency, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 1.509 billion Belshians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Nimana. The average income tax rate is 82.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Doux Belshian economy, worth 237 trillion Belshian pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 157,451 Belshian pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Online weather reports are predicting five years of glorious sunshine for Doux Belsh, buildings are experiencing some new ten-ants, employers are keenest on employees who lack family values, and old folks reminisce about the last time someone was acquitted of a crime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Doux Belsh's national animal is the Belshian fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Her Majesty's Mandate.

Doux Belsh is ranked 200,758^th in the world and 736^th in The Frontier Sea for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring zero on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
