The Easter of Belambangan is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Santa Claus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its flagrant waste-dumping, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.297 billion Belanians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of North Pole. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Belangian economy, worth a remarkable 4,031 trillion Candy Canes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 391,510 Candy Canes, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,624,082 per year while the poor average 4,072, a ratio of 889 to 1.

Rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons, the country is littered with broken homes, the stratosphere is full of "silent but deadly" attacks from Santa Claus's rear echelons, and crying babies are told to grow up. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, probably because of the absence of a police force. Belambangan's national animal is the Reindeer, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Hindu.

Belambangan is ranked 3,281^st in the world and 3^rd in Indonesia Nusantara for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 8,284.27 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
