The Democratic Republic of Blitz Gambit is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its state-planned economy, parental licensing program, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 549 million Blitz Gambitians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lightbolt. The average income tax rate is 49.6%.

The strong Blitz Gambitian economy, worth 38.8 trillion deniers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is 70,754 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Tax-payers are funding ever more extravagant movie projects, there's nothing more rock-and-roll than absolute sobriety, write-in candidate 'Leader Sucks' is perennially popular, and disability advocates are not amused that they are told to be dependent on Blitz Gambitians's kindness. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blitz Gambit's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Blitz Gambit is ranked 100,756^th in the world and 868^th in the West Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 70,754.98 Standard Monetary Units.
