The Amorphous Mass of Point Blob is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Gelatinous Dodecahedron with a fair hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, national health service, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 28.029 billion Point Blobians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and Law & Order are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Nucleus. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Point Blobian economy, worth an astonishing 19,343 trillion Points a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 690,124 Points, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
There is a 'turn around' sign at every border entrance, sales of superhero insurance have skyrocketed after the government abandoned the police in favor of vigilantes, Gelatinous Dodecahedron's office has a newly installed Max-Man arcade game programmed by a 5th-grader, and guns don't kill people heroes do. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Point Blob's national animal is the amorphous blob, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Superscience.
Point Blob is ranked 107,145th in the world and 1st in Wild Hunt for Most Extreme, scoring 22.87 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
