The Colony of Blontais is a very large, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 181 million Blontaisians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, although Education, Defense, and Spirituality are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 27.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Blontaisian economy, worth 15.9 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 87,784 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them, cigarettes are dead-cheap, economic output is rising as the chronically depressed are persuaded not to burden society, and scenic tours are unheard of after most environmental laws were abolished. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Blontais's national animal is the crocodile, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Blontais is ranked 135,008^th in the world and 1,966^th in the West Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 11.66 flags saluted per person per day.
