The Holy Sovereign Empire of Blaiwana is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Ilya Rei Princeps Rublicae with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, zero percent divorce rate, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.82 billion Blaiwanians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Education also on the agenda, while Welfare is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Auctoritas. The average income tax rate is 77.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Blaiwanan economy, worth a remarkable 1,199 trillion Baics 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, 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 175,851 Baics, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

School lockers are filled with fancy underwear, prosecutors are tucked into bed by the household police officer, a baby's first breath is also a baby's first felony, and black gold is looking more brown these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blaiwana's national animal is the Gilded-Winged Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Empiric Worship.

Blaiwana is ranked 24,320^th in the world and 630^th in The North Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 83,599.83 Standard Monetary Units.
