The land of the blind, or the Autonomous Kingdom of Blindovia, as it is officially called, is technically a constitutional monarchy in which the monarch is both head of state and head of government. The judicial branch of government is composed of a Supreme Court, chief justice, and judges sworn in by the monarch for three-year terms. Justice, depicted elsewhere as a blind woman, is presented by local tradition as a deaf-mute. The flag consists of a white field around the shape of two overlapping right triangles, a shape similar to that of Nepal. Blindovia's economy has traditionally revolved around agriculture, the output of a small industrial sector producing vodka and textiles, and Black Sea tourism.
Potatoes are the main crop, much of which is distilled into vodka.
Consequently, the average diet leans toward the vegetarian, and there is a tendency toward cold dishes, due to the hazards associated with open-flame. Traditional cuisine has adapted well, and the local borscht is considered among the best in Eastern Europe. However, the advent of the microwave oven and practical importation of perishable foodstuffs, have increased local menus dramatically. The landscape is practical, however, since most tourists are blind travelers who run little risk of losing their footing on Blindovia's even terrain, and enjoy 161 safe kilometres of flat, gently-sloping beaches which provide little risk of suddenly plunging into water. The climate is warm and pleasant, and is Mediterranean-like on the Black Sea coast.
