Belarus is a sleepy dictatorship of nothingness nestled among ESC stalwarts Russia and Ukraine and other less successful ones such as Poland and Lithuania. In terms of a Eurovision track record it's clearly belonging to the latter 2.
Its capital city, Minsk, was made famous by Bette Midler and Seinfeld in the make believe musical "Rochelle, Rochelle - From Milano to Minsk".
Two families rule Belarus with an iron fist - the Agurbash's and the Lukashenko's.
There's no reason to go there. Seriously.

Facts:
Capital: Minsk
Exports: Salami, foul music
Average placing in ESC: 1st (according to the Lukashenko controlled media)
