The Green and Pleasant Land of Parc Blundell

“We Only Sing When We're Fishing”

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

The Green and Pleasant Land of Parc Blundell is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lord Vetinari with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, anti-smoking policies, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 26.785 billion Blundellians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 99.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Parc Blundellian economy, worth a remarkable 4,679 trillion Denarii a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 174,702 Denarii, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Late night talk show hosts are having a field day over Lord Vetinari's questionably sane new coalition partners, it is illegal for a parent to tell a child to stop eating their boogers, exceptionally healthy police officers can sprint after crooks for hours on end, and visitors often mistake the toiletplex at music festivals for the main stage. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Parc Blundell's national animal is the Lich, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Parc Blundell is ranked 3,808^th in the world and 28^th in The Leftist Assembly for Lowest Crime Rates, with 123.53 law-abiding acts per hour.
