The Distant Borderlands of Blab is a behemoth, cultured nation, ruled by Queen Liliuokalani II with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 50.389 billion Blabons enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, corrupt, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Environment, and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Olelonui. The average income tax rate is 8.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Blabian economy, worth a remarkable 9,234 trillion chits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 183,272 chits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists take credit every time it rains in United Nations, civil engineers are undermining sinkholes, betting ads have replaced the national anthem at the start of sports matches, and asylum seekers have voted Blab as best layover destination. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Blab's national animal is the elephant, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The order of Violet.

Blab is ranked 38,246th in the world and 6th in United Nations for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 110.9 on the Hayek Index.
