The Confederacy Minecraft of BlockCraft is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by DwiPrama with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, enslaved workforce, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.866 billion BlockCraftians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tista. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.9%.
The frighteningly efficient BlockCraftian economy, worth a remarkable 1,585 trillion Swaps a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 230,918 Swaps, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,088,251 per year while the poor average 3,055, a ratio of 683 to 1.
Citizens are expected to be armed at all times, a shocking number of estate planners are beneficiaries of their clients' wills, chicken farmers must rise before the sun every day to gag their cockerels, and parties on cruise ships go off with a real bang. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. BlockCraft's national animal is the Fogging, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Hindu.
BlockCraft is ranked 51,145th in the world and 9th in Otsuchi for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 5,381.87 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
