The Republic of Blighted is a mammoth, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning fox population. The hard-working population of 6.568 billion Blightedians 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.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 14.5%.

The Blightedian economy, worth 319 trillion rubles a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, and Trout Farming. Average income is 48,596 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blighted's national animal is the fox, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Blighted is ranked 254,797^th in the world and 14,040^th in Lazarus for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 14.5 Effective Tax Rate.
