The Parliamentary Republic of United Beltonia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Pedro González with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 4.96 billion Beltonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Varskograd. The average income tax rate is 74.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Beltonian economy, worth 824 trillion Bel'tonskiy Rubls a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 166,248 Bel'tonskiy Rubls, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tuba players are paid to quietly whisper into their instruments, surveillance cameras are banned, several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, and there is an abondance of ackawi and zartschmelzend in every Beltonian grocery store. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United Beltonia's national animal is the Beltonian Eland, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Nondenominational Christianity.

United Beltonia is ranked 13,844^th in the world and 972^nd in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 95.46 law-abiding acts per hour.
