The Republic of Bladeton is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Tagget with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cheerful population of 17.675 billion Bladetonians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bladeton Capital City. The average income tax rate is 69.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bladetonian economy, worth a remarkable 2,866 trillion Shards a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 162,153 Shards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Life is short but human kindness is endless, Bladeton Capital City Preparatory School for the Exceedingly Wealthy's basketball team is having a few off-years, parking's carefree without parking car fees, and 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Bladeton's radio stations. Crime is totally unknown. Bladeton's national animal is the Pet Rock, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Bladeton is ranked 284,120th in the world and 10,826th in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -14.28 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
