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

The Armed Republic of Knights of Blood is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Knight with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 22.97 billion Knights of Bloodians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Knights of Blood City. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The all-consuming Knights of Bloodian economy, worth a remarkable 2,247 trillion Excalibs a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 97,830 Excalibs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

History textbook pages are used as impromptu tissues by distraught students, the cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, community-designed sword prostheses are becoming dangerously common, and flu research is commonly shut down for fear of creating a superbug. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Knights of Blood's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Knights of Blood is ranked 69,527^th in the world and 930^th in the Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 110.09 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
