The Greater vakolicci haven of Blitzkeig is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by President Ronan W O'clane with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 20.565 billion Vakolicci are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Iros. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 57.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Vakolicci economy, worth a remarkable 3,882 trillion Drals a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 188,803 Drals, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,544,128 per year while the poor average 4,947, a ratio of 312 to 1.

Fire stations and hospitals can't deploy emergency vehicles because badly parked cars block them in, 10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, retail stores offer sales every hour on the hour, and burnout is common with anti-government demagogues. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blitzkeig's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Blitzkeig is ranked 23,214th in the world and 829th in Lazarus for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 30,899.12 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
