The Herd of Blogh is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, ruled by Herdmaster Grel with an even hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 15.777 billion enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, liberal, pro-business individuals is effectively ruled by the Department of Commerce, with areas such as the Environment and Social Equality receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bloghopoli. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining industries.

Closed universities are currently being converted into MacDonald's restaurants, healthcare funding has been cut, the streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars, and Blogh is notorious for its citizens' infidelity. Crime is crippling, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Blogh's national animal is the Paleoscincus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Holy Circle of Blogh, and its currency is the Bink.

Blogh is ranked 1,022nd in Europeia and 120,877th in the world for Most Pacifist, scoring -2,952 on the Lennon-Springsteen Scale.
