The Splinter Religion of Blackgrue Toxin cult is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by The Plaguemaster with an iron fist, and renowned for its enslaved workforce, strictly enforced bedtime, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.793 billion Cultists 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."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Spirituality and Industry also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Virulentia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Occult economy, worth 393 trillion Toxins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 140,738 Toxins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 614,048 per year while the poor average 20,383, a ratio of 30.1 to 1.

Heart attacks are regarded as a coming of age ritual, a nickname of "Doctor Death" probably indicates a decorated war hero, politicians ponder for at least a minute when asked if they would like sugar in their tea, and the government has to take out its Visa to eliminate visas. Crime is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Blackgrue Toxin cult's national animal is the Mutant, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Toxin Cult.

Blackgrue Toxin cult is ranked 19,636th in the world and 3rd in The Outer Rim for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
