“Splendor sine occasu”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The State of Blanshard is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 16.435 billion Blanshardians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.6%.

The strong Blanshardian economy, worth a remarkable 1,003 trillion betales a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 61,067 betales, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and Blanshard has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Blanshard's national animal is the deer.

Blanshard is ranked 242,312^th in the world and 6^th in Imperial Prussia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 54.09 law-abiding acts per hour.
