The Dictatorship of Louise Belcher is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, state-planned economy, and suspicion of poets. The cynical population of 10.825 billion Louise Belcherians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 45.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Louise Belcherian economy, worth 268 trillion Burgers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 24,836 Burgers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, online weather reports are predicting five years of glorious sunshine for Louise Belcher, Leader has just been declared ruler of Louise Belcher in an international press conference, and Louise Belcher has designated Louise Belcher City as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Louise Belcher's national animal is the Kuchi Kopi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Louise Belcher is ranked 14,355th in the world and 21st in Memeverse for Most Stationary, with 1,819.20225932092 days.
