The Free Land of The Green Belt is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Eimnot Dofo with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.995 billion Green Beltians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Village Green. The average income tax rate is 69.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The strong Green Beltian economy, worth 195 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 65,150 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Tax avoidance is a serious affair, dozens of viewers go online to hear whether a comma has been added to Clause 5 in Subsection B of Law 58375, genetic research is temporarily tied up in government red tape, and the Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Green Belt's national animal is the clubtail dragonfly, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is None.
The Green Belt is ranked 239,644th in the world and 11th in The Scandalian Alliance for Most Conservative, scoring 42.42 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
