The Anarchy of Blogotopia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ding Dong Daddy with an even hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles, lack of airports, and smutty television. The compassionate, cheerful population of 41.729 billion Blogotopians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blogotopia City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Blogotopian economy, worth an astonishing 16,656 trillion doobies a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Book Publishing, Tourism, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an amazing 399,157 doobies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's athletes must all cross the finish line together while holding hands, artists are pillars of society, staffers take uppers in the old upper house chamber, and business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Blogotopia's national animal is the hepcat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Blogotopia is ranked 307,452nd in the world and 883rd in 10000 Islands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 1.13 law-abiding acts per hour.
