The Distant Borderlands of Blab is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Queen Liliuokalani II with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 45.587 billion Blabons hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Industry and Environment also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Olelonui. The average income tax rate is 8.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Blabian economy, worth a remarkable 7,980 trillion chits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 175,055 chits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, Queen Liliuokalani II is spearheading a new fashion trend of wearing swimming goggles and medieval armour, Super Barry Brothers is the most popular video game in the nation, and Queen Liliuokalani II reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes. Crime is totally unknown. Blab's national animal is the elephant, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The order of Violet.

Blab is ranked 51,667th in the world and 11th in United Nations for Lowest Crime Rates, with 73.7 law-abiding acts per hour.
