The People's Republic of The Blooming Coast is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by President O'Flynn with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.445 billion Blooming Coastians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Peonisa. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Blooming Coastian economy, worth 473 trillion Silver Petals 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 137,448 Silver Petals, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Interest in globalism never flags, high school bands practice by moonlight, citizens recently voted in favour of declaring bubblewrap an 'abomination of nature', and school football matches are usually five-a-side. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Blooming Coast's national animal is the Okapi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Blooming Coast is ranked 7,485^th in the world and 187^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,883.62 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
