The Great State of El Blurkistan is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Simion Pavel with an even hand, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 7.52 billion Blurks enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ceh. The average income tax rate is 79.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Blurkic economy, worth 967 trillion Rovas 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. 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 an impressive 128,717 Rovas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Senior citizens are often found slaving away in factories, turning eighteen is often referred to as the 'Age of Aquarius', the ruling party has a devil of a time keeping order in the ranks, and young girls and senior citizens alike can be spotted wearing colourful short shorts. Crime is totally unknown. El Blurkistan's national animal is the Red Panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Tagramism.

El Blurkistan is ranked 97,444th in the world and 69th in Conch Kingdom for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,933.23 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
