The Republic of Blaidd is a mammoth, efficient nation, renowned for its fear of technology, parental licensing program, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, devout population of 8.815 billion Blaiddians 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 Law & Order, Industry, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 37.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Blaiddian economy, worth 605 trillion runes a year, is led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 68,727 runes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Local mafias have a tough time disposing of dead snitches without catching the attention of recycling authorities, giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Leader is a silly poophead, war criminals are given full state funerals, and citizens with artificial limbs are forbidden to serve as beauty pageant judges. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blaidd's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Blaidd is ranked 285,373^rd in the world and 3,668^th in Remembrance for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.59 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
