The Kingdom of South Blossom is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Supreme Leader Mateus with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed population of 9.766 billion South Blossomians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 67.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient South Blossomian economy, worth a remarkable 1,505 trillion Bernie Bucks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 154,185 Bernie Bucks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, the government is engaging in an agricultural trade war with Maxtopia, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, and weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. South Blossom's national animal is the Unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

South Blossom is ranked 52,594th in the world and 2,830th in Osiris for Most Corrupt Governments, with 36.53 kickbacks per hour.
