The Amorphous Mass of Point Blob is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Gelatinous Dodecahedron with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, avant-garde cinema, and soft-spoken computers. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 26.788 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, although Education and Environment are also considered important, while Welfare and Law & Order are ignored. 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 17,547 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 655,060 Points, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's water should not be ingested while operating heavy machinery, battlefield gains are quickly lost when enemies don't respect a time-out, belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace', and it is illegal to have the wrong clock time showing on your microwave oven. 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 291,271^st in the world and 3^rd in Wild Hunt for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -34.09 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
