The Absolute Monarchic Theocracy of Empire of Blockworld is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Benedict II with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, museums and concert halls, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.213 billion Blockworldians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Johnburg. The average income tax rate is 35.8%.
The strong Blockworldian economy, worth 184 trillion Reichsmarcs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 83,175 Reichsmarcs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.
