The Republic of Belomundo is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 128 million Belomundoans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.1%.

The all-consuming Belomundoan economy, worth 12.0 trillion Coroas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 93,524 Coroas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 296,883 per year while the poor average 22,450, a ratio of 13.2 to 1.

Subsidisation of Big Pharma has stopped many corporate executives from having to sell their second homes, children have lost interest in toy guns in favor of toy meth lab kits, the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, and the right to a fair trial was recently abolished for reasons of convenience. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Belomundo's national animal is the Cavalo, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Belomundo is ranked 46,803^rd in the world and 501^st in the West Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 4,588.86 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
