The Commonwealth of Bellant is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its parental licensing program, daily referendums, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.057 billion Bellantians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bellant City. The average income tax rate is 85.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bellantian economy, worth 248 trillion credas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 120,870 credas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Frustrated women are overjoyed at the provision of communal washing machines, factories place endangered birds in their rafters in pursuit of government protections, craps take up a lot of time, and entomologists flock to Bellant City for its remarkable gadfly population. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bellant's national animal is the seagull, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Bellant is ranked 287,499^th in the world and 4^th in Ardentia for Largest Black Market, with 47.0 billion Standard Monetary Units.
