The Most Serene Republic of The BLS Coin Collectors Club is a huge, genial nation, ruled by DG Wright with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 834 million BLSians 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 large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Hostel. The average income tax rate is 64.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The BLSian economy, worth 47.5 trillion Cartwheel Pennies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 56,978 Cartwheel Pennies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars, the freedom to be free is always just out of reach, explicit slash fiction is repackaged for kindergarten kids as stories about friends cuddling friends, and Maxtopian villagers starve by the time BLSian officials even file the appropriate paperwork needed to help them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The BLS Coin Collectors Club's national animal is the bishal florin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The BLS Coin Collectors Club is ranked 213,458^th in the world and 113^th in Empire of Great Britain for Largest Populations, with 834 million capita.
