The Holy Empire of Oro Blanto is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Yacub Krut with an iron fist, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, ban on automobiles, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.629 billion Blantoans 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 prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Terrinia. The average income tax rate is 69.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Blantoan economy, worth 243 trillion eagle rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 149,660 eagle rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it... Blantoan satellites can detect it, soldiers' positions are given away by the glint of their bayonets, bands of paramedics walk the streets looking for suspicious medical activity, and heirs who take too long in the bathroom are declared missing and presumed dead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oro Blanto's national animal is the eagle and its national religion is Krutolatry.
Oro Blanto is ranked 1,923rd in the world and 104th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 77.63 law-abiding acts per hour.
