The Community of Belzig is a gargantuan, genial nation, remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, ban on automobiles, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 43.211 billion Belzigians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Policy, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Belzigstadt. The average income tax rate is 95.9%.

The enormous but underdeveloped Belzigian economy, worth a remarkable 3,718 trillion kartoffels a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 86,056 kartoffels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Teenage boys are raving about how the latest AI assistant sounds exactly like a sexy movie star, the bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Belzigstadt, afternoon delight in care homes is restricted to a serving of spotted dick at 3pm, and children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary. Crime is totally unknown. Belzig's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Belzig is ranked 1,367th in the world and 4th in Universal Dream Network for Largest Populations, with 43.2 billion capita.
