The Commonwealth of Bellingia is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its public floggings, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 253 million Bellingians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Administration, although Education, Industry, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 23.7%.

The very strong Bellingian economy, worth 22.4 trillion pound sterlings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,593 pound sterlings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The Bellingia Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon', that which doesn't kill you can get you de-platformed, sailors spend their shore leave helping old ladies cross the street, and evasive politicians don't fail to strongly commit to not committing to a course of non-inaction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Bellingia's national animal is the Southern elephant seal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Bellingia is ranked 61,695^th in the world and 1,055^th in the South Pacific for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,888.87 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
