The Republic of New-Belgica is a huge, safe nation, notable for its frequent executions and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 241 million New-Belgicans 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 tiny government prioritizes Education, although Welfare, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Environment and International Aid are ignored. The average income tax rate is 7.9%.

The strong New-Belgican economy, worth 16.2 trillion StoCoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 67,379 StoCoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Wildlife have trouble navigating the electric fences surrounding national forests, paralegals spend all day Hewlett-Packing attorneys' law briefs, protests are legal but strictly supervised, and New-Belgicans are regularly fired for looking at MyFace during their lunch breaks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. New-Belgica's national animal is the Wolf.

New-Belgica is ranked 95,924^th in the world and 3,660^th in the South Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,945.56 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
