The Socialist State of Blargoblarg is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by General Secretary Kyulen with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, frequent executions, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 30.768 billion Blargoblargers are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amaretto. The income tax rate is 100%.

The strong Blargoblarger economy, worth an astonishing 14,889 trillion Bits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Information Technology, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 483,915 Bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pirates armed with sonar-guided semi-autonomous torpedos and laser weapons systems are often seen capturing fishing trawlers, Blargoblarg isn't what it used to be, kids laugh off vandalism and arson as "just fun", and the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blargoblarg's national animal is the Alicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Blargoblarg is ranked 202nd in the world and 1st in Zeesh for Highest Poor Incomes, with 413,561.85 Standard Monetary Units.
