The Unstoppable Mass Murderer of BlackBlicky is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Russia Soviet Gulag State with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, state-planned economy, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.402 billion BlackBlickyians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Round-Out. The average income tax rate is 49.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient BlackBlickyian economy, worth 602 trillion Bullets 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. 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 136,794 Bullets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Flamethrower-toting soldiers are also equipped with fire blankets and extinguishers, fast food restaurants everywhere are under the control of a gigantic government corporation, the Flying Gun is a protected species, and cults that offer eternal life after death to those who follow a self-sacrificing saviour are frowned upon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BlackBlicky's national animal is the Flying Gun, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Vioinsism.

BlackBlicky is ranked 103,937th in the world and 529th in the Plains of Perdition for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,734.24 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
