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

The Kingdom of South Blossom is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Supreme Leader Mateus with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed population of 9.673 billion South Blossomians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient South Blossomian economy, worth a remarkable 1,485 trillion Bernie Bucks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 153,600 Bernie Bucks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Imitation is the sincerest form of felony, the government runs a surplus by selling its citizens, exam halls are littered with used needles and empty pill bottles, and this year's hottest fashion trend is the Lese Majeste collection. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. South Blossom's national animal is the Unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

South Blossom is ranked 22,190^th in the world and 1,436^th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 87.98 law-abiding acts per hour.
