The Kingdom of Blaenavon is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Mark Brigham with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism, hatred of cheese, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.458 billion Blaenavonians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Charterhouse. The average income tax rate is 75.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Blaenavonian economy, worth 499 trillion Blaens a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,119 Blaens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign nations often blame poverty and terrorism on Blaenavonian selfishness, teach an angler how to phish and he can make a living, the deaf are perplexed when the weather report tells them that the wind will be "bringing some rain along the Nazi ghosts", and visiting dignitaries make excuses to leave functions early and head to the nearest pub. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blaenavon's national animal is the Red Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Blaenavon is ranked 10,794^th in the world and 6^th in Arctic for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 12,448.75 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
