The Holy Sovereign Empire of Blaiwana is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Ilya Rei Princeps Rublicae with an iron fist, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, pith helmet sales, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.985 billion Blaiwanians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Welfare is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Auctoritas. The average income tax rate is 79.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Blaiwanan economy, worth 438 trillion Baics 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. 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 146,773 Baics, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Missionaries learn the hard way that their piercing spiritual insights are no match for arrows, political dissidents are cut off from essential services, the nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air, and bands of paramedics walk the streets looking for suspicious medical activity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blaiwana's national animal is the Gilded-Winged Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Empiric Worship.

Blaiwana is ranked 305,699th in the world and 5,641st in The North Pacific for Most Secular, with 3.81 Atheism Rate.
