The Democratic Republic of Blitz Gambit is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 530 million Blitz Gambitians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lightbolt. The average income tax rate is 47.8%.

The strong Blitz Gambitian economy, worth 36.7 trillion deniers 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is 69,255 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens cannot change their light bulbs without approval from an international committee, classes at Lightbolt University get canceled on Brancaland's Independence Day, rogue nations are placing suspiciously large bulk orders for student laptops, and parents who fail mandatory parenting classes risk having their children taken away. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blitz Gambit's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Blitz Gambit is ranked 126,902^nd in the world and 1,108^th in the West Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,356.33 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
