The United Federation of Blipp is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Federal President with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.865 billion Blippians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blippolis. The average income tax rate is 54.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Blippian economy, worth 387 trillion Capps a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,281 Capps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Children aren't allowed to chew their pencils until they get home from school, cash-strapped junkies lick rabbits for a cheap high, when people want to start a family the government helps them planet carefully, and politicians tend to speak more loudly and slowly these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blipp's national animal is the jaguar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Blippian Ordianist Church.

Blipp is ranked 167,559^th in the world and 3,063^rd in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 170.45 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
