The United States of Blume Corp is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its public floggings, flagrant waste-dumping, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 4.053 billion Blumians 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Silicon Valley. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Blume Corpian economy, worth 800 trillion Microchips a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 197,605 Microchips, with the richest citizens earning 9.6 times as much as the poorest.

Dessert dishes make up the Blume Corpian breakfast menu, meetings involving club finances are frequently broken up by men in black suits, a punitive tax has been placed on harmful emissions, and the nation forgives those who are big enough to admit they made a mistake. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Blume Corp's national animal is the Synth, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Blume Corp is ranked 144,787th in the world and 7th in Sovereign Corporate League for Most Stationary, with 181.02399525568 days.
