The Republic of Bloemstad is a gargantuan, genial nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 11.029 billion Bloemstadians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 8.3%.

The strong Bloemstadian economy, worth 564 trillion thorns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 51,188 thorns, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Bloemstad's national animal is the poppy, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Bloemstad is ranked 122,368^th in the world and 70^th in Emirates of Futurnia for Most Patriotic, with 13.11 flags saluted per person per day.
