The Confederacy of Bel Cairo is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Sir Winston Wolfe with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.266 billion Cairoans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Heliopolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Bel Cairoan economy, worth 738 trillion Kronor a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 173,071 Kronor, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 986,242 per year while the poor average 14,752, a ratio of 66.9 to 1.

Lending money has become a major liability, laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, photos of picturesque coastal buildings are set against a backdrop of smokestacks and ship hulls, and people talk about things being better when men were men. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Bel Cairo's national animal is the Arabian Horse, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Bel Cairo is ranked 185,308^th in the world and 166^th in Capitalist Paradise for Fattest Citizens, with 9.23 Obesity Rate.
