The People's Republic of Blotting is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Chairman Prospera with an even hand, and remarkable for its flagrant waste-dumping, unlimited-speed roads, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 23.297 billion Blottonians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Industry, although Administration and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Prosperopolis. The average income tax rate is 1.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Blottish economy, worth a remarkable 5,185 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 222,601 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Exam halls are littered with used needles and empty pill bottles, the government subsidizes those who produce the worst results, the government guarantees that tourists will have the ultimate trip on their trips, and public hospital staff roll their eyes at anything less than a heart attack. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Blotting's national animal is the seagull, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Blotting is ranked 264,577th in the world and 214th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -6.63 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
