The Republic of Blaaveres Combon is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, ritual sacrifices, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, devout population of 10.047 billion Blaaveres Combonians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 44.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Blaaveres Combonian economy, worth 624 trillion kronor 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 a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. 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 62,190 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Litter collection has replaced fast food as the most popular after-school job, in musicals everybody's a little bit racist, a nation-wide cull of turtles is in effect, and ersatz chicken has left the nation's citizens with a bad taste in their mouths. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blaaveres Combon's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Blaaveres Combon is ranked 234,473rd in the world and 28th in New Western Atlantic for Safest, scoring 21.06 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
