The Jingoistic States of Blizzardism is a mid-sized, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 62 million Blizzardismians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 38.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Blizzardismian economy, worth 2.71 trillion His a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,700 His, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Class boundaries start and end with the firmness of local tomatoes, discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal, if someone says there's plenty of living space in Blizzardism they're lyin', and the mood of raunchy movies is often ruined by the sound of babies crying. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blizzardism's national animal is the Tortoiseshell Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Blizzardism is ranked 284,187^th in the world and 151^st in Refugia for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,013.6 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
