The Confederacy of Isla Blovalian is a very large, efficient nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 362 million Bloves enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fort Amsterdam. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.3%.

The powerhouse Blovalian economy, worth 32.2 trillion coconuts a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Information Technology, and Tourism. Average income is 88,895 coconuts, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 417,828 per year while the poor average 11,253, a ratio of 37.1 to 1.

Mathematicians are gathering an infinite number of mutant beavers and typewriters to see if they can recreate the works of Max Barry, access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery, the team in charge of creating a new writing system have spent months deciding whether or not to use serif or sans-serif characters, and losing your sock key may require surgical intervention. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Isla Blovalian's national animal is the mutant beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Isla Blovalian is ranked 265,449^th in the world and 776^th in Council of Asia for Highest Poor Incomes, with 11,253.19 Standard Monetary Units.
