The Socialist Union of Blaist Blaland is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Blaist Communist Party with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, sprawling nuclear power plants, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 27.053 billion Blaites are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded morass — prioritizes Education, although Environment, Healthcare, and Welfare are also considered important, while Defense and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blanaxon. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Blaite economy, worth a remarkable 7,532 trillion Work Units a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 278,421 Work Units, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Builders across Blaist Blaland are blocked up with orders for new public loos, bike rage is all the rage, citizens praise the weeds that overwhelm their narrow vegetable realm, and guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites. Crime is totally unknown. Blaist Blaland's national animal is the African Grey Parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Blaist Blaland is ranked 116^th in the world and 4^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 43,028.14 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
