Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Lazarus Rule Enforcer of Blademasters765 is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by Queen Felicia Amandil with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.93 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Social Equality receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dureska. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 93%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Protests are legal but strictly supervised, the wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security, and speaking out against the government is punishable by flogging. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blademasters765's national animal is the Wedge Tail Eagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Atheism, and its currency is the Pound.

Blademasters765 is ranked 3,130th in Lazarus and 91,009th in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring -96 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
