The Intergalactic Empire of Blurlandi Union is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Dimitri Vodlarv with an iron fist, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, disturbing lack of elderly people, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.725 billion Blurlandonese are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vodlarvgrad. The average income tax rate is 94.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Blurlandish economy, worth a remarkable 1,032 trillion Blurls 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. 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 180,338 Blurls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The populace harbors a fierce hatred of the metric system, the military invades any neighboring nation with the gall to criticize its policies, foreign leaders who don't applaud Dimitri Vodlarv's speeches are regarded as enemies of Blurlandi Union, and it's rare to find an unchewed pencil. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blurlandi Union's national animal is the swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Vodlarvism.

Blurlandi Union is ranked 263,438th in the world and 1st in Silver Dawn for Most Stationary, with 13.48949136672 days.
