The City of Beograd is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 14.696 billion Beogradians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 76.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Beogradian economy, worth a remarkable 1,586 trillion Golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 107,927 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Confused drunks wake up to irate drill sergeants whipping them into shape, toddler groups have taken over local libraries, a bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted, and more sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Beograd's national animal is the Elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Beograd is ranked 76,524^th in the world and 3,409^th in Osiris for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 4,224.55 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
