The Republic of Blan Lible is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, zero percent divorce rate, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 15.766 billion Blan Libleans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Blan Liblean economy, worth a remarkable 3,561 trillion rupees a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 225,878 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The men in trenchcoats hanging around playgrounds are actually police officers, pro-democracy protesters are shot on sight by state police, it is considered unpatriotic to learn a foreign language, and seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blan Lible's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Blan Lible is ranked 342,531^st in the world and 16,518^th in Lazarus for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -16.2 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
