The People's Republic of Blappen is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Noah O'Donoghue with an iron fist, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, parental licensing program, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.553 billion Blappenese are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dragclayfee. The average income tax rate is 79.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Blappenese economy, worth 153 trillion Blappenese Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 98,761 Blappenese Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing, troublemakers boast about how many times they have to visit their therapist, consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, and clothing with a scarlet S is popular among repentant body shamers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blappen's national animal is the Derp, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secular.

Blappen is ranked 284,098^th in the world and 157^th in The Communist Bloc for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 20,443.63 Standard Monetary Units.
