The Emirate of Belfi is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Emir Ijia Relha XI with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, ubiquitous missile silos, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 15.532 billion Belfians 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 enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 88.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Belfian economy, worth a remarkable 1,532 trillion Aoerian Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 98,678 Aoerian Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Police reduce their paperwork by refusing to arrest anyone, adulthood begins with the creation of an email account, when shaking hands with foreign leaders Emir Ijia Relha XI wears an armoured gauntlet, and revolutionaries only deal in CyanCatCoin. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Belfi's national animal is the Hilimore Trout, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Sunnahism.

Belfi is ranked 208,256th in the world and 131st in Barbaria for Most Stationary, with 38.61002390068 days.
