The Amorphous Mass of Point Blob is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Gelatinous Dodecahedron with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, soft-spoken computers, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 26.781 billion Point Blobians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education and Environment also on the agenda, while Welfare and Law & Order aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Nucleus. The average income tax rate is 99.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Point Blobian economy, worth an astonishing 17,541 trillion Points a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 654,992 Points, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The most penniless demographics have by far the highest number of researchers per capita, the Counter-Terrorism Unit has been nicknamed "Big Bad Wolf" for its tendency towards urban demolition, no one is quite sure what many government officials look like, and power to the people comes from the barrel of a gun. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Point Blob's national animal is the amorphous blob, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Superscience.

Point Blob is ranked 1,246^th in the world and 1^st in Wild Hunt for Most Beautiful Environments, with 4,684.27 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
