The Queen's Unified Land of Doux Belsh is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Her Majesty's Court with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 1.486 billion Belshians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, 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 81.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Doux Belshian economy, worth 233 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 157,191 Belshian pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty, Dogman-branded weapons are all the rage in the militaristic comic-book community, the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime 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 is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Her Majesty's Mandate.

Doux Belsh is ranked 222,842^nd in the world and 242^nd in The Frontier Sea for Largest Populations, with 1.49 billion capita.
