The Friend of Blumaroo is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, unlimited-speed roads, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, devout population of 6.863 billion Blumarooans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 48.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Blumarooan economy, worth 709 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 103,354 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

B-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age, clerics are taught that silence is golden and duct tape is silver, "Darwin's Disease" is a growing cause of death, and election ballot papers are so long that unused ones are recycled as toilet roll. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blumaroo's national animal is the elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Blumaroo is ranked 127,680^th in the world and 2^nd in Sylvia for Most Corrupt Governments, with 7.28 kickbacks per hour.
