The Blood Oath of Secarus IV is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by The Albino with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.617 billion Henchmen 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Albino's Sanctuary. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.5%.

The very strong Henchman economy, worth 168 trillion Kuttars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 64,307 Kuttars, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Henchman Gladiators is a ratings success, diagrams of new modems collect dust in patent offices, the end of autumn is celebrated with a bonfire of designer bags, and homeless people can be found sleeping on streets in front of unoccupied second homes. Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Secarus IV's national animal is the Firstborn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Secarus IV is ranked 125,629^th in the world and 45^th in United Earth Space Probe Agency for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2,164.31 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
