The Republic of Belarus 20 is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by The Glorious Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, sprawling nuclear power plants, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.343 billion Belarus 20ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Донецк. The average income tax rate is 73.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Belarus 20ian economy, worth 735 trillion rubles 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. 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 116,014 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Enthusiasm for abstract art has gone up in smoke, newborns are being raised as mindless killing machines, the nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics, and optometrists will see citizens in seconds but health inspectors won't be sighted for years. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Belarus 20's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Idk.

Belarus 20 is ranked 329,743^rd in the world and 2,367^th in the Rejected Realms for Nicest Citizens, with 0.17 average smiles per day.
