The Mechanocracy of Blakullar is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by OTAN with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, parental licensing program, and soft-spoken computers. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 30.007 billion Mekhs 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Healthcare, and Public Transport are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sunikagrad. The income tax rate is 100%.

The enormous but inefficient Mekh economy, worth a remarkable 4,399 trillion vodka bottles 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, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. 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 146,619 vodka bottles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Failed genetic experiments wreak havoc as they roam the countryside, in a fit of passion OTAN has shredded thirty years' worth of petitions, soldiers are equipped with multi-million vodka bottle battlesuits, and tourists visiting the nation are harangued for being capitalist pig-dogs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Blakullar's national animal is the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Church of Alcohol.

Blakullar is ranked 179,872nd in the world and 1st in A Placid Island of Ignorance for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 46.06 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
