The ⬜⬜⬜ of Republic of Blank is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by a piece of blank paper with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 5.896 billion Blankians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, liberal government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the nonexistent capital city. The average income tax rate is 35.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Republic of Blankian economy, worth 780 trillion nothings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 132,385 nothings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, only the richest get to see out of their windows, sex-ed is child's play, and restaurants have added Molotov cocktails to the menu. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Republic of Blank's national animal is the white square, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is a nonexistent religion.

Republic of Blank is ranked 277,646^th in the world and 3^rd in The coalition of weird countries for Most Primitive, scoring -309.53 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
