The Greater vakolicci haven of Blitzkeig is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Ronan W O'clane with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, deadly medical pandemics, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 20.723 billion Vakolicci are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Iros. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 57.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Vakolicci economy, worth a remarkable 3,923 trillion Drals a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 189,335 Drals, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,548,479 per year while the poor average 4,961, a ratio of 312 to 1.

Retail stores offer sales every hour on the hour, burnout is common with anti-government demagogues, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, and foreign heads of state have taken out restraining orders against Vakolicci ambassadors. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blitzkeig's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Blitzkeig is ranked 52,611th in the world and 1,900th in Lazarus for Rudest Citizens, with 80.21 insults per minute.
