The Confederacy of Blood Feud is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by King Satan with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, unlimited-speed roads, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.039 billion Blood Feudians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Spirituality are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hatred. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Blood Feudian economy, worth a remarkable 1,672 trillion Bootstraps 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Uranium Mining, 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 amazing 276,994 Bootstraps, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,499,265 per year while the poor average 26,459, a ratio of 56.7 to 1.
The teaching of evolution has been banned, oracles predict landslide victories for King Satan for the next 50 years, religious bigotry and a fear of outsiders have replaced religious studies in schools, and aristocratic family trees are beginning to resemble tumbleweeds. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Blood Feud's national animal is the Wolverine, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The 4th Turning.
Blood Feud is ranked 1,762nd in the world and 29th in the Rejected Realms for Most Patriotic, with 111.23 flags saluted per person per day.
