The Kingdom of South Blossom is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Supreme Leader Mateus with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 9.516 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 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient South Blossomian economy, worth a remarkable 1,460 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 153,523 Bernie Bucks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Reddish-brown is the new black, a newly discovered small mammal's name translates into South Blossomian as 'your finger, you fool', weekends are spent tilting at windmills, and imitation is the sincerest form of felony. 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 41,171st in the world and 2,328th in Osiris for Most Cultured, scoring 74 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
