The Village of Belcarra is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by James Miller with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, prohibition of alcohol, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 3.328 billion Belcarrans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Belcarra Rock. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.3%.

The strong Belcarran economy, worth 255 trillion rocks a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 76,723 rocks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 232,603 per year while the poor average 19,679, a ratio of 11.8 to 1.

All restaurants close before dinner time, women earn less than half the salary of men if they can even find a job, homeless people can be found sleeping on streets in front of unoccupied second homes, and immigrant Maxtopians are routinely sold on popular internet auction sites. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Belcarra's national animal is the rock, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is rock.

Belcarra is ranked 119,191^st in the world and 2^nd in big for Most Extreme, scoring 21.73 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
