The Technocracy of Blakcat is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Aleis Ketch with an iron fist, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.525 billion Blakcatians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alpha 4. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Blakcatian economy, worth 848 trillion kits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 240,669 kits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward, the credibility of anti-government demagogues is undermined by government claims that they smell like poo, Blakcatians have been enjoying a recent boost in civil rights as the government continues to clamp down on emigration, and nerdy teenagers have to prove that they're made of the same stuff as their grandparents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blakcat's national animal is the Black Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Blakcat is ranked 2,600th in the world and 122nd in Osiris for Most Developed, scoring 97.65 on the Human Development Index.
