The King Sopo of Bloopo is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Lord Bloopsmypants with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 12.78 billion Bloopoans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Education, Administration, and Welfare are also considered important, while Environment and Law & Order are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Joojbourg. The average income tax rate is 20.5%.

The strong Bloopoan economy, worth 618 trillion bloops a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,416 bloops, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Pet owners make sure their dogs wear diapers, kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles, major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, and serial commas clarify the relationship between one's lackeys, the taxpayers, and kinsfolk. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Bloopo's national animal is the jooj, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Oraclism.

Bloopo is ranked 306,375^th in the world and 3^rd in Bloopsjooj for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -8.37 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
