The Republic of Blaise Pascal is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its soft-spoken computers, lack of airports, and state-planned economy. The compassionate population of 354 million Blaise Pascalians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 43.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Blaise Pascalian economy, worth 12.9 trillion baht a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. Average income is 36,508 baht, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cheese lovers have a case of the bleus, gay hospital patients are labelled with a pink triangle to alert staff of their substandard blood, exterminators swarm Blaise Pascalian homes, and the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blaise Pascal's national animal is the porpoise, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Blaise Pascal is ranked 201,415^th in the world and 45^th in Collections for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 54.64 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
