The United Socialist States of Bloni is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Prosci Lumi with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 2.889 billion Blonians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hamache. The average income tax rate is 93.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Blonian economy, worth 346 trillion Balonis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 119,843 Balonis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, listless juries are assembled for the simplest of court cases, women have a strange proclivity for dressing up as caped weasels, and murderers facing life in prison listen to long sermons on positive thinking. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bloni's national animal is the Turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Bloni is ranked 8,922nd in the world and 31st in Starlight for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 6,024.43 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
