The Dominion of Patriarchic Bliss is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Major Ity with an iron fist, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 12.119 billion Patriarchs are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Patriarch City. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Patriarch economy, worth a remarkable 8,233 trillion bitcoins 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 Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. 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 a breathtaking 679,364 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

It is broadly agreed that tramp stamps are criminally undesirable, urban graffiti is hand-calligraphed in perfectly kerned elegant fonts, bilingual Patriarchs are viewed with suspicion, and people forget to eat because they are too busy singing Major Ity's praises. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Patriarchic Bliss's national animal is the unicorn, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Bow down to your God-King Major Ity.

Patriarchic Bliss is ranked 243^rd in the world and 11^th in the Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 14,520 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
