The Colonial Empire of Blackpoolia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Kim Zhou Nong with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, infamous sell-swords, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.005 billion Blackpoolians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seoul City. The average income tax rate is 71.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Blackpoolian economy, worth 109 trillion Blackpoolian Won a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 109,387 Blackpoolian Won, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", homeowners are evicted to make way for new runways, "Mad Max: Returning Again to Barrydrome" is this year's unexpected summer blockbuster, and school cafeterias serve nothing but protein powder and vitamin supplements. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blackpoolia's national animal is the Blackpoolian Giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Blackpoolia is ranked 250,792^nd in the world and 343^rd in United Kingdom for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -6.32 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
