The Eternal Democratic Republic of Blustan is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 19.797 billion Blustani 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.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Plateau of Blustan. The average income tax rate is 76.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Blustanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,257 trillion Suns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,014 Suns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Freedom is never freely given — only when the alternative is too expensive, news headlines suggest that Leader has a sideline in guinea pig pimping, the long arm of the law possesses a rather slow hand, and bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins. Crime is totally unknown. Blustan's national animal is the Snow Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Blustan is ranked 12,060th in the world and 507th in Balder for Largest Information Technology Sector, scoring 29,090.66 on the Fann-Boi Productivity Index.
