The Queen's Unified Land of Doux Belsh is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Her Majesty's Court with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, state-planned economy, and national health service. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 1.621 billion Belshians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Nimana. The average income tax rate is 84.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Doux Belshian economy, worth 263 trillion Belshian pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 162,166 Belshian pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, garishly-decorated government buildings are being hailed as the height of 'religious nouveau', the nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, and home renovation shows are increasingly popular. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Doux Belsh's national animal is the Belshian fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Her Majesty's Mandate.

Doux Belsh is ranked 18,386^th in the world and 53^rd in The Frontier Sea for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 4,980.77 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
