The Things of Blobon is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Almighty boss lord Piy with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 3.109 billion Blobonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Globazar. The average income tax rate is 89.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Blobonian economy, worth 519 trillion Plorts a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 167,163 Plorts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Soldiers have a preference for fire-and-forget payloads, business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions, annulments are on the rise as couples discover their ancestors were born in the same hospitals, and graffiti graces every city's streets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Blobon's national animal is the Quk, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Albaz.

Blobon is ranked 258,995^th in the world and 12,173^rd in The East Pacific for Highest Crime Rates, with 1.74 crimes per hour.
