The Empire of Blitzvolk is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor with an iron fist, and notable for its aversion to nipples, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 21.59 billion Blitzvolkians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, with Defense, Environment, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Volkia. The average income tax rate is 37.0%.

The Blitzvolkian economy, worth 903 trillion Marks a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Gambling. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 41,859 Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, orphanages are closing their doors as the government forces parents to actually raise their children, the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, and the military has quashed a recent coup attempt. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Blitzvolk's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kekism.

Blitzvolk is ranked 189,823^rd in the world and 114^th in KAISERREICH for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -1.67 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
