The Barony of Belove is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Lamont Cranston with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, keen interest in outer space, and daily referendums.

The frighteningly efficient Belovean economy, worth 906 trillion Ducats a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 180,163 Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens must pay to enjoy Belove's pristine beaches, the government has solemnly sworn not to look up other nations' internet browsing history if the favor is returned, racial supremacists indulge their wildest fantasies in cinemas and theatres across the nation, and major archaeological findings are frequently bulldozed to make way for new buildings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Belove's national animal is the Platypus, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is National Orthodoxy.

Belove is ranked 285,556^th in the world and 22^nd in New Coalition of Nations for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.9 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
