The Blessed Order of ComStar is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Primus William Blane with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 24.04 billion Blakists 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, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hilton's Head. The average income tax rate is 32.2%.

The powerhouse Blakist economy, worth a remarkable 2,234 trillion C-bills a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is 92,955 C-bills, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Most ambassadors from ComStar retire only a few years after being appointed, fishermen take out second mortgages to afford the yearly fishing permit, builders across ComStar are blocked up with orders for new public loos, and drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ComStar's national animal is the heretic, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Word of Blake.

ComStar is ranked 35,770th in the world and 11th in The Local Cluster for Most Stationary, with 1,267.06115435812 days.
