The Allied States of Blobbo is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Joe Mama with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.62 billion Blobboans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Twinleaf. The average income tax rate is 95.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Blobboan economy, worth a remarkable 2,941 trillion Coins a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 157,969 Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Preschools put children down for naps with milk, cookies, and a gruesome story of vengeance, students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, postmen have been arrested in job lots for selling junk mail as home insulation, and government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities. Crime is totally unknown. Blobbo's national animal is the Creature, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Blobbo is ranked 46,179^th in the world and 840^th in The East Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,188.87 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
