The United Kingdom of Bleathir is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.895 billion Bleathirians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.4%.

The strong Bleathirian economy, worth 104 trillion Starfish a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is 55,181 Starfish, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 359,811 per year while the poor average 3,349, a ratio of 107 to 1.

The nation operates a "finders-keepers" policy with other nations' citizens, military funding has been stripped back, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Bleathir's national animal is the Whale, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Bleathir is ranked 184,886^th in the world and 21^st in Islands of Ventro for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 140.43 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
