The Theocracy of Bleechovia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Supreme Commander Michale' with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.801 billion are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bastian . Citizens pay a flat income tax of 86%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Loans are available for students from poor families, calling out of the blue has become taboo, radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, and torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Bleechovia's national animal is the Irukandji, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Bleechism, and its currency is the Offering.

Bleechovia is ranked 1,430th in The North Pacific and 35,510th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 22 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
