The Holy Empire of Eastern Blud Norithovan is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its teetotalling pirates, ubiquitous missile silos, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.25 billion Eastern Blud Norithovanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Administration, although Industry, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 66.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Eastern Blud Norithovanian economy, worth 166 trillion bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 133,540 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Attempts to inform people about their unclaimed property are often mistaken for telephone scams, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, televangelists flaunt their expensive cars when they attend charity events, and Eastern Blud Norithovan City Preparatory School for the Exceedingly Wealthy's basketball team is having a few off-years. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eastern Blud Norithovan's national animal is the kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Eastern Blud Norithovan is ranked 37,728^th in the world and 49^th in Concord for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,884.36 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
