The Socialist State of Blargoblarg is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by General Secretary Kyulen with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, keen interest in outer space, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 34.943 billion Blargoblargers are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Revachol. The income tax rate is 100%.

The powerhouse Blargoblarger economy, worth an astonishing 21,236 trillion people's dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 607,747 people's dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Only clowns with PhDs from clown college can advise General Secretary Kyulen on Blargoblarg's coulrophobia epidemic, the government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region, cricket farmers use magnifying glasses to fit every member of their herd with tiny tracking tags, and NationStates is now a popular brand of laxatives despite Max Barry's protests. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blargoblarg's national animal is the komodo dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Blargoblarg is ranked 331,992nd in the world and 1st in Zeesh for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -47.36 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
