The Worker's Commune of Soviet Belfast is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Bobby Sands with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 5.205 billion Belfasters are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Commune of Belfast. The average income tax rate is 90.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Soviet Belfastian economy, worth 527 trillion Connollies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 101,426 Connollies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nine-year-olds are discovering that they can grow gardens in real life too, the government tries not to listen to the people unless it absolutely has to, asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, and troublemakers boast about how many times they have to visit their therapist. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soviet Belfast's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Soviet Belfast is ranked 308,408^th in the world and 531^st in The Communist Bloc for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -17.95 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
