The District of Belau is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its complete lack of public education, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 31.761 billion Belauans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.1%.

The very strong Belauan economy, worth a remarkable 1,023 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 32,234 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 219,156 per year while the poor average 1,732, a ratio of 126 to 1.

The streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars, surveillance cameras are banned, Belau's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, and military funding has been stripped back. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Belau's national animal is the deer.

Belau is ranked 288,526^th in the world and 596^th in State for Most Developed, scoring 48.05 on the Human Development Index.
