The Democratic Republic of Bloodbath Generation is a huge, devout nation, notable for its ban on automobiles. Its compassionate population of 626 million 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 Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ciudad Longanisa. The average income tax rate is 73%, 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.

The wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, all judiciary cases are decided in the court of public opinion, and movies and computer games are strictly censored for violence. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bloodbath Generation's national animal is the sunkyu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Great Escape.

Bloodbath Generation is ranked 122nd in Pony Lands and 93,013th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
