The Grand Duchy of City of Belmore is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords, complete lack of prisons, and ubiquitous missile silos. The democratic population of 253 million Belmoreans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 35.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Belmorean economy, worth 25.6 trillion Metrons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 101,175 Metrons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
