The Unstoppable Mass Murderer of BlackBlicky is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Russia Soviet Gulag State with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, digital currency, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.036 billion BlackBlickyians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Round-Out. The average income tax rate is 45.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient BlackBlickyian economy, worth 543 trillion Bullets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 134,563 Bullets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Flamethrower-toting soldiers are also equipped with fire blankets and extinguishers, fast food restaurants everywhere are under the control of a gigantic government corporation, the Flying Gun is a protected species, and cults that offer eternal life after death to those who follow a self-sacrificing saviour are frowned upon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BlackBlicky's national animal is the Flying Gun, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Vioinsism.

BlackBlicky is ranked 80,965th in the world and 374th in the Plains of Perdition for Highest Food Quality, scoring 29.16 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
