The Queen's Unified Land of Doux Belsh is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Her Majesty's Court with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 1.586 billion Belshians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, 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 84.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Doux Belshian economy, worth 253 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 major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 159,938 Belshian pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The military will start wars with other nations on a lark, children dream of becoming physicians and physicists, rare steaks seem even bluer now, and murderers are immune to arrest while attending their victims' funerals. Crime, especially youth-related, 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 frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Her Majesty's Mandate.

Doux Belsh is ranked 1,987^th in the world and 6^th in The Frontier Sea for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 15,125.37 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
