The Shadow Semblance of Belladonna Blake is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Belladonna Blake with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 8.889 billion Belladonna Blakeans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mantle. The average income tax rate is 58.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Belladonna Blakean economy, worth 896 trillion liens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 100,890 liens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

National park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, the nation's generous tax credits have brought all the film studios to the yard, a typical fast food menu item could serve a small army, and the nation was recently voted "most likely to betray its allies". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Belladonna Blake's national animal is the octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Violetism.

Belladonna Blake is ranked 280,552^nd in the world and 8^th in Remnant for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.65 kickbacks per hour.
