Boloxnia

Ah, Boloxnia (silent 'x')!

That lovely land where it's always 1957! It's ruled by Noka Blokoff, wearing his suit entirely made of medals.
His all-female Elite Guards deal swiftly with any voices of dissent; the sausage factories never close, you know.

Find out all about this glorious nation in our Boloxnia-At-A-Glance guide below.

Boloxnia-At-A-Glance

Capital: Alexgrad

Government: President For Life, General Noka Blokoff. Also spelt Noka Blokov, depending on his mood (see Flag)

Population: Decreasing (see Economy)

Time Zone: Doesn't matter. Watches are banned, as anyone who knows what time it is will start complaining that it's time to go home. All you need to know is that it's 1957. Always.

Economy: Entirley sausage (and sausage-related products) based.

Flag: Currently two, one flown when the president is spelling his name "Blokoff" (pig with a chainsaw, pictured below), the other when he's in a "Blokov" mood (four sausages, pictured above). Flying the wrong flag can result in a visit from the Elite Guard.

Foreign Policy: Paranoid. All other countries are either enemies now or will be in the future.

Transport: Pogo sticks.

Flora and Fauna: Pigs and turnips.

National Hero: Humphrey Bogart. Many place-names relate to Bogart films or characters.

National Anthem:

Boloxnia, Boloxnia,
Not that far from Estonia
Round the corner, up a bit
On the atlas is where we sit.
Mr Washington we ain't got
General Blokoff, Sausage, What?

1957's the date
We don't know why
But we're never late
On our pogo sticks we fly
Down the high st
By and by.

Boloxnia, Boloxnia,
Not that far from Estonia
Round the corner, up a bit
On the atlas is where we sit.
Mr Washington we ain't got
General Blokoff, Sausage, What?

Boloxnian Pig Flag


With thanks to Badger and Bit for the anthem and to all of the Best Time Of The Day listeners for contributing to the creation of Boloxnia.
