The Music of Blind curve is a titanic, efficient nation, notable for its feral children, smutty television, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.551 billion Blind curveans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Blind curvean economy, worth a remarkable 1,381 trillion kronor a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 119,619 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The internet has been placed under government control, tombstones are ten feet high to accommodate the names of inhabitants, animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, and if you go into the woods today you're sure of a big surprise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blind curve's national animal is the kangaroo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Blind curve is ranked 66,553^rd in the world and 480^th in eta for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 143.88 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
