The Kingdom of Blaenavon is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Mark Brigham with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 4.399 billion Blaenavonians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Charterhouse. The average income tax rate is 75.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Blaenavonian economy, worth 495 trillion Blaens a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,531 Blaens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Greenhouses are regularly raided by the police, forgetting to pay your annual passport bill is a leading cause of deportations, marketing departments of corporate giants compete to sponsor little league teams, and private law firms are unheard of. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blaenavon's national animal is the Red Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Blaenavon is ranked 23,064^th in the world and 7^th in Arctic for Lowest Crime Rates, with 87.35 law-abiding acts per hour.
