The An Snorthtail Spleachas of An Blascaod Mor is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Muiris Ó Súilleabháin with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 12.11 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, the Environment, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Village. The average income tax rate is 93%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

There's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, and Manx Shearwater is one of the most popular forenames in An Blascaod Mor. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a major problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. An Blascaod Mor's national animal is the Manx Shearwater, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Roman Catholicism, and its currency is the Punt.

An Blascaod Mor is ranked 7th in Atlantian Oceania and 3,112th in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 135 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
