The We Want More Than Enough of Blood Tithe is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Tom Joad with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, keen interest in outer space, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 31.149 billion Blood Titheans 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Castle Rock. The average income tax rate is 56.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Blood Tithean economy, worth a remarkable 3,154 trillion Reichsmarks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 101,271 Reichsmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Bleach is the nation's most common pesticide, merchant ships always travel line astern in Blood Tithean waters, bloodworms are frequently shot for looking at people 'in a funny way', and corporations have to consult a fifty-page "sanctions spreadsheet" to determine which countries they are allowed to do business with. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blood Tithe's national animal is the bloodworm, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Blood Tithe is ranked 238,059th in the world and 1st in Gaza Strip for Least Corrupt Governments, with 91.73 percentage of bribes refused.
