The Democratic Republic of Blahcostan is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Brahumdagh Bugti with an even hand, and renowned for its closed borders, rum-swilling pirates, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, devout population of 3.271 billion Blahcostanians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of karachi. The average income tax rate is 87.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Blahcostanian economy, worth 398 trillion rupees a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 121,952 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

For the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, the nation's laws on image rights are amongst the strictest in the world, a new guerrilla marketing campaign for tap water involves government agents spraying random citizens with hose water, and families are left homeless as entire suburbs are bulldozed on the whim of tribal chiefs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blahcostan's national animal is the camel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hinduism.

Blahcostan is ranked 117,253^rd in the world and 2,593^rd in The North Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 316 billion Standard Monetary Units.
