The ℜ𝔬𝔶𝔞𝔩 𝔈𝔰𝔱𝔞𝔱𝔢 of Blansen is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by 𝔎𝔦𝔫𝔤 𝔏𝔲𝔠𝔦𝔲𝔰 with a fair hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, unlimited-speed roads, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 9.161 billion Blansenians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of ℜ𝔞𝔳𝔢𝔫𝔠𝔯𝔢𝔰𝔱. The average income tax rate is 68.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Blansenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,041 trillion 𝔤𝔬𝔩𝔡 𝔣𝔩𝔞𝔨𝔢𝔰s a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 113,675 𝔤𝔬𝔩𝔡 𝔣𝔩𝔞𝔨𝔢𝔰s, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Judicial robes are the country's hottest fashion trend, roadside walls are being built and mother nature is paying for it, arguments about toilet seats being left up or down get surprisingly heated, and for just a few extra 𝔤𝔬𝔩𝔡 𝔣𝔩𝔞𝔨𝔢𝔰s Blansenians can get new driving records with their new cars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blansen's national animal is the 𝔡𝔬𝔩𝔭𝔥𝔦𝔫, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is ℌ𝔢𝔩𝔩𝔢𝔫𝔦𝔰𝔱𝔦𝔠 𝔓𝔞𝔤𝔞𝔫𝔦𝔰𝔪.

Blansen is ranked 51,923^rd in the world and 66^th in Talonia for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 1,419.79 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
