The Anarchy of Blogotopia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Ding Dong Daddy with a fair hand, and renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 18.153 billion love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

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 Education, Social Welfare, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blogotopia City. The average income tax rate is 96%. 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.

Calling out of the blue has become taboo, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, there has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, and suit-clad businessmen have been taking advantage of the relaxed welfare qualifications by shopping with food stamps. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Blogotopia's national animal is the hepcat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the doobie.

Blogotopia is ranked 6th in 10000 Islands and 46th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 539 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
