The Principality of West Blonia is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, zero percent divorce rate, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 6.643 billion West Blonians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 19.0%.
The thriving West Blonian economy, worth 482 trillion baht a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Retail, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 72,620 baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.
The nation is reliant on the principle of mutually assured destruction to maintain its security, colonial subjects have West Blonian culture shoved down their throats, jails have become colloquially known as 'vampire houses', and the Man in the Plastic Mask has been imprisoned in the Capital Penitentiary. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force. West Blonia's national animal is the squirrel.
West Blonia is ranked 57,318th in the world and 2,808th in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 31.34 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
