The Republic of Bladeton is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Tagget with an even hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, otherworldly petting zoo, and digital currency. The compassionate, cheerful population of 17.587 billion Bladetonians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bladeton Capital City. The average income tax rate is 69.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bladetonian economy, worth a remarkable 2,849 trillion Shards a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 162,000 Shards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Teenage male videogamers often suffer repetitive strain wrist injuries, captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, lobbyists are trying to convince government to recategorize most natural disasters as "non-critical naturogenic inconveniences", and life is short but human kindness is endless. Crime is totally unknown. Bladeton's national animal is the Pet Rock, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Bladeton is ranked 89,959^th in the world and 4,810^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.32 law-abiding acts per hour.
