“Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.”

The Emperor of BlackAdder goes Forth is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.854 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of the Environment, Social Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 32%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, followed by Cheese Exports and Basket Weaving.

Euthanasia is legal, elections have been outlawed, the right to free speech is being drastically curtailed, and education and welfare spending are on the rise. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BlackAdder goes Forth's national animal is the baldrick, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Groat.

BlackAdder goes Forth is ranked 487th in the region and 16,952nd in the world for Lowest Crime Rates.
