The State of Bellami is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The democratic population of 45.751 billion Bellamians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Welfare, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 25.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but inefficient Bellamian economy, worth a remarkable 1,452 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Soda Sales, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 31,750 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, pet owners must make a payment if their charges leave a deposit, the dish 'poisson avec poison' is only available on the black market, and behind every great person are three dozen other people passing great memos. Crime is almost non-existent. Bellami's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Bellami is ranked 174,240^th in the world and 1^st in Bellami for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 65.95 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
