[Beiluxia]

• Is your nation developed, or under-developed?
  Developed
• What is the percentage of citizens living in poverty in your nation?
  Beiluxia had an official poverty rate of 12.9% in the 2010 Government Census.
• What would a poor neighborhood look like?
  Satellite towns typically contain working-class neighbourhoods and estates like the one below.
  
• Is there welfare or something similar in your nation?
  Both federal and provinsial governments have programmes for lower-income and underprivileged individuals. Along with universal health-care for all, the impoverished also receive a pension scheme, colloquially known as "benefits". Lower-income brackets also get priority in government-subsidised housing projects.
• If the question above is answered with a yes, how many citizens are on welfare?
  Since each provinse and sometimes individual municipalities have their own schemes, it's hard to precisely calculate the number of people on welfare. Almost half of all Beiluxians live in some form of government-subsidised housing due to their lower income, but many of them don't receive other forms of welfare or "benefits". A guesstimate would be about 20% of Beiluxians receiving welfare.
• What is the typical health of a poor citizen?
  Despite universal health-care, the wealthy tend to be healthier than the poor due to access to specialised private healthcare This discrepancy in treatment may have more to do with the fact that the poor are less likely to go to clinics (no car, can't pay for transport, more likely to be disabled or elderly, etc.) than a noticeable difference in the quality of care between private and public healthcare.
• What is a common problem in poor parts of your nation?
  Some critics accuse the Government of purposely creating isolated satellite towns in the hopes of dumping poor people away from more prosperous areas in the city. Indeed, many "new towns", as they are known, are mainly filled with government-subsidised housing, and so experience a much higher level of poverty than the national average. However, such urban planning has nonetheless worked for the last half century; studies show new towns with mainly poor people only have slightly higher crime rates than new towns with mainly rich developments. Also, most new towns are developed in cooperation with the private sector so that it will attract people of different socio-economic backgrounds.
