The Kingdom of Blako is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Koba with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, enslaved workforce, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.261 billion Blakoans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of United Force. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Blakoan economy, worth 251 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,296 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Pillows outnumber picket signs at most workers rallies, teachers are dying as they attempt to read 500 word essays without pausing for breath, displaying impatience in any form lands you a spot on the BIA watchlist, and university admissions staff are blindfolded to prevent accidental bias. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blako's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholic.

Blako is ranked 27,331^st in the world and 1^st in United cities for Most Cultured, scoring 81 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
