“Blood Is, Blood Was, And Blood Shall Always Be”

The Sacred Imperial Dominion of The Warmaster is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, ruled by Emperor Ishamael with an iron fist, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 11.247 billion are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Defence, although Law & Order and Commerce are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Korronis. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Uranium Mining and Information Technology.

The government funds private schools for intellectually gifted children, political activists are routinely executed, the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, and citizens drive tank-like vehicles with mounted machine guns. Crime is pervasive, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. The Warmaster's national animal is the political dissident, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Septatheism, and its currency is the denarius.

The Warmaster is ranked 31st in the region and 54,994th in the world for Most Godforsaken.
