The Robotic Mantid of Blargleyarg is a massive, genial nation, notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 1.209 billion Blargleyargians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blargleville. The average income tax rate is 25.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Blargleyargian economy, worth 88.9 trillion Mantiscoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,510 Mantiscoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage, victims of crime are viewed as less trustworthy than politicians, seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma, and the nation's armed forces are recruiting thousands to help colonise Brasilistan. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blargleyarg's national animal is the robot mantis, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Blargleyarg is ranked 29,380^th in the world and 1^st in Mantisland for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 16,903.3 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
