The Ministry of Silly Walks of Blazing Samaritan is a colossal, economically powerful nation, ruled by Brave Sir Robin with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 8.414 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Religion & Spirituality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caerbannog. The average income tax rate is 4%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The government is notorious for leaving citizens with almost nothing from their inheritance, waste is frequently shipped to other countries, citizens wishing to be parents must undertake a series of gruelling tests to evaluate their capabilities, and pristine wilderness has been trashed in the quest for cheaper oil. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blazing Samaritan's national animal is the Killer Rabbit, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Pythonism, and its currency is the Holy Grail.

Blazing Samaritan is ranked 4,259th in The East Pacific and 100,553rd in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -10 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
