The ᕬØᙢÅᗬØᒺØᘜYᐉ of The blaknite is a gargantuan, cultured nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, daily referendums, and compulsory vegetarianism. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 25.084 billion ᗸᒺÅkᕬiᖭᗕᐉ are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The tiny, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Environment, although Welfare, Social Policy, and Education are also considered important, while Defense and Spirituality receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 5.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant ᗸᒺÅkᕬiᖭᗕÅᕬᐉ economy, worth 192 trillion ᙢÅrŵᗬ3ᖆᐉs a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 7,670 ᙢÅrŵᗬ3ᖆᐉs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A paperwork error has naval privateers being directed to attack land-locked nations, artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings, fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding", and Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to The blaknite City to enjoy their national art. Crime is totally unknown. The blaknite's national animal is the §ᒺØᖭhᐉ, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The blaknite is ranked 100,970th in the world and 1,153rd in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 429.94348872488 days.
