The Carnival of Blotting is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Godmother with an even hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, rampant corporate plagiarism, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 17.757 billion Blotts enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.
The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, although Administration and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Masque of the Red Death. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Blottish economy, worth a remarkable 3,386 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 190,699 dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,042,304 per year while the poor average 17,836, a ratio of 58.4 to 1.
Eckie-Ecola has declared that their soda poop is The Real Thing, there is a growing belief that mothers love their children more than fathers, a chain of pubs that cater solely to children has recently been unveiled, and many marriages go virtually unconsummated. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Blotting's national animal is the seagull, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Blotting is ranked 108,250th in the world and 307th in The Communist Bloc for Most Stationary, with 373.5229206674 days.
