The Eco-Fascist State of Bellamina is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Bela Kiss Crocker with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, ritual sacrifices, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 9.492 billion Bellaminos are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Pelican Hole. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 51.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Bellamino economy, worth a remarkable 1,303 trillion Tuplaes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 137,297 Tuplaes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 488,574 per year while the poor average 27,778, a ratio of 17.6 to 1.
Citizens are more concerned about voting for Big Brother contestants than politicians, the police are tightening their grip on alcohol smugglers, the The Pelican Hole Women's Prison Choir now has a baritone section, and therapists can always squeeze in another house-call. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bellamina's national animal is the Paper Wasp, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.
Bellamina is ranked 20,554th in the world and 220th in the Pacific for Most Stationary, with 1,601.9494608628 days.
