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.

Notable individuals are granted land and titles, construction workers evacuate work sites after finding sharp rocks on the ground, Rupert Bear is considered to be the most risqué TV programme in Empire of Blockworld, and kids looking for shark teeth have become ancient history. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Empire of Blockworld's national animal is the Sea Serpent, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Byzantine Catholicism.

Empire of Blockworld is ranked 292,768th in the world and 347th in Conch Kingdom for Most Stationary, with 1.92785987728 days.
