The Federal Republic of Belarum is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Evan Burke with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 39.577 billion Belarians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bastia. The average income tax rate is 75.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Belarian economy, worth an astonishing 11,182 trillion euros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 282,556 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The subway is dead quiet in early afternoons, photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in President Evan Burke's bedroom, the average commuter spends four hours a day driving to and from work, and cheese has become the new icon of political dissent. Crime is totally unknown. Belarum's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Belarum is ranked 4,507^th in the world and 10^th in European Union for Largest Governments, scoring 44.63 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
