Nation/Bludonian Alecom

The United Socialist States of Bludonian Alecon is a large, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 56 million Bludonian Aleconians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 8.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Bludonian Aleconian economy, worth 2.28 trillion Kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 40,649 Kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Only AI know why the nation is rapidly increasing its semiconductor stockpile, videogames like 'Equalia: Knights of Self-Confidence' are proving inexplicably unpopular, homeless people dying of starvation are thought to be a necessary cost of preventing terrorism, and murder rates are on the rise as the popularity of soylent products grows. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Bludonian Alecon's national animal is the Wolf, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Bludonian Alecon is ranked 71,207th in the world and 38th in The Democratic Commonwealth for Nudest, with 137.25 Cheeks Per Square Mile.
