The Amorphous Mass of Point Blob is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Gelatinous Dodecahedron with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, avant-garde cinema, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 32.169 billion Point Blobians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and Law & Order are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Nucleus. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Point Blobian economy, worth an astonishing 25,297 trillion Points 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, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. 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 a breathtaking 786,401 Points, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Chess players with pacemakers and cochlear implants are treated with suspicion, produce markets have tanked in pursuit of the perfect potato, endangered species face obesity instead of extinction, and the attempt to control the weather has ended in environmental disaster. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Point Blob's national animal is the amorphous blob, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Superscience.

Point Blob is ranked 77,952nd in the world and 1st in Wild Hunt for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 68.72 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
