The Rogue Nation of Bleachers is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, fear of technology, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.281 billion Bleachersians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 59.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Bleachersian economy, worth 307 trillion francs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 71,710 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Antique comic book collectors are disappointed to hear that their treasures are worth exactly as little as their mothers said they were, the government is under the thumb of countless special interests, the request to "give us our daily bread" can only be fulfilled six days out of seven, and the government advises foreign diplomats to speak softly and carry a big bag of cash. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bleachers's national animal is the crocodile, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Bleachers is ranked 105,066^th in the world and 37^th in Playlist for Most Developed, scoring 60.67 on the Human Development Index.
