The Qhofri Hros of Bloohete is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Calyx Arachnipapoulous with an even hand, and remarkable for its closed borders, zero percent divorce rate, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 1.175 billion Blatians 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Athens. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Blatian economy, worth 147 trillion Gransbies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 124,830 Gransbies, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

The standard government reply to any query is "there is no spoon", scientists take credit every time it rains in the South Pacific, holidaymakers sleep curled up on the floor as hotel beds are replaced with oversized bookcases, and international collectors know that a grease-stain on a work of art probably means it's passed through Bloohete. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Bloohete's national animal is the Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Islam and Christianity.

Bloohete is ranked 127,335^th in the world and 1,559^th in the South Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 32.78 quips per hour.
