The Kingdom of Blackadder the fifth is a gargantuan, cultured nation, notable for its unlimited-speed roads, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, devout population of 30.172 billion Blackadder the fifthians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 69.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Blackadder the fifthian economy, worth a remarkable 2,665 trillion jips 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 88,333 jips, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps", a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, foreign nationals are widely distrusted, and forty-year-old men are asked for their ID before watching the latest pony cartoon movies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blackadder the fifth's national animal is the jop, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Blackadder the fifth is ranked 49,263rd in the world and 2nd in Crusaders of Justice for Lowest Crime Rates, with 74.38 law-abiding acts per hour.
