The Free Land of Blurst is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 3.878 billion Blurstians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Welfare, although Education, Healthcare, and Public Transport are also considered important, while Spirituality and Environment are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.3%.

The very strong Blurstian economy, worth 236 trillion Liberties a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is 61,025 Liberties, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 175,757 per year while the poor average 16,828, a ratio of 10.4 to 1.

Kids are told they can be whoever they want to be when they grow up, there's more vermin than ever on the metro, ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, and ships no longer sail as no one wants to encounter Blurstian pirates. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Blurst's national animal is the Freagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Blurst is ranked 52,833^rd in the world and 29^th in Karma for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 5,405.59 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
