Kingdom of Bellatorum

Population268 million

CurrencyPecunia
AnimalRhinoceros Hornbill

The Armed Republic of Kingdom of Bellatorum is a huge, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The devout population of 268 million Dayaks are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 60.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Dayak economy, worth 18.3 trillion Pecunias a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 68,154 Pecunias, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The welfare administration's new sweeping authority has forced the poor and needy to shop from pre-approved grocery lists, telling someone to 'break a leg' is considered a criminal inducement to self harm, power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky, and home renovation shows are increasingly popular. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kingdom of Bellatorum's national animal is the Rhinoceros Hornbill, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kingdom of Bellatorum is ranked 150,005th in the world and 503rd in the Outback for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,291.85 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
