The Jingoistic States of Blizzardism is a very large, genial nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 232 million Blizzardismians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 38.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Blizzardismian economy, worth 10.1 trillion His a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,681 His, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal, if someone says there's plenty of living space in Blizzardism they're lyin', the mood of raunchy movies is often ruined by the sound of babies crying, and armed war-criminals gain asylum if deemed 'fabulous' enough. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blizzardism's national animal is the Tortoiseshell Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Blizzardism is ranked 161,917^th in the world and 197^th in Refugia for Smartest Citizens, with 28.35 quips per hour.
