Overview • Factbook • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Vespid State of BlackLight Covenant is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Vazarrah IV with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 17.486 billion BlackLight Covenantians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Terbarlynton. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient BlackLight Covenantian economy, worth a remarkable 4,287 trillion Retals 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 245,196 Retals, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The military is researching proton packs and PK-meters to combat "unseen enemy forces", fake designer clothes are shredded and burnt while many in the world don't have a shirt on their back, a light facial coating of soot is seen as the mark of an honest and hardworking man, and escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BlackLight Covenant's national animal is the Giant Moth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Unknown.

BlackLight Covenant is ranked 5,800^th in the world and 22^nd in The Glorious Nations of Iwaku for Safest, scoring 128.92 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
