The City of Biella is a titanic, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 18.307 billion Biellesi, 2.888 billion of whom are zombies, are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, with Law & Order and Defense also on the agenda, while Social Policy is ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.2%.

The very strong Biellese economy, worth a remarkable 1,105 trillion lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 60,375 lire, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 200,950 per year while the poor average 13,516, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

Biella has designated Biella City as its capital city, the government is seen to favor traditionalist religions, Leader has just been declared ruler of Biella in an international press conference, and a major religion has been named as Biella's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. Biella's national animal is the bear, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Biella is ranked 83,480^th in the world and 1^st in Comuni for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 7,638.03 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
