The Flowering Haven of Bloodshade is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Ambrosia von Carstein with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 12.66 billion Sanguelunans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yvresse. The average income tax rate is 95.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Sanguelunan economy, worth a remarkable 3,549 trillion Florins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 280,396 Florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Would-be emigrants are told "abandon all hope all ye who would exit here", the government puts forth the claim that harming young girls is wrong, birdsong in the mountains has to be loud enough to drown out nearby jackhammers, and Yvresse has restaurants serving every meat from aardvark to zebra. Crime is totally unknown. Bloodshade's national animal is the Demigryph, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bloodshade is ranked 9,336^th in the world and 550^th in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 122.19 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
