The Theocracy of Blitznia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Top Krieg with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical, devout population of 1.366 billion Blitzers are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lightning City. The average income tax rate is 70.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Blitz economy, worth 157 trillion coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 115,225 coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings, and mathematicians are gathering an infinite number of yellow-spotted Amazon River turtles and typewriters to see if they can recreate the works of Max Barry. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blitznia's national animal is the yellow-spotted Amazon River turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is The Bitzkrieg.

Blitznia is ranked 36,834th in the world and 256th in Europeia for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 51.96 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
