The Most Serene Republic of Blythesea is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Her Most Serene Excellency with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate population of 3.585 billion Blytheseans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yaido. The average income tax rate is 74.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Blythesean economy, worth 348 trillion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 97,273 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Her Most Serene Excellency is worshipped as a god, it can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom, the nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air, and wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blythesea's national animal is the sheep, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Blythesea is ranked 287,746^th in the world and 800^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -18.78 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
